In this lesson, you will learn to count down from ten as we dance with our donut friends! You will practice your counting skills by figuring out how many donuts are left after each one falls into the chocolate pot. Get ready to spin and twirl like a donut while having fun with numbers and movement! By the end, you’ll be a counting and dancing superstar!
Hey there, little friend! Are you ready to have some fun with donuts and dancing? Let’s get started!
Imagine a group of yummy donuts having a dance party. They love to spin and twirl around. Can you spin like a donut too? Let’s try it together!
There were ten donuts dancing happily. They turned around and around. But oh no! One donut fell into a big pot of chocolate. Now there are nine donuts left. Can you count them with me?
Now, nine donuts are dancing and spinning. They turn around and around. Oops! Another donut fell into the chocolate pot. How many are left? Let’s count together!
Eight donuts are still dancing. They love to turn around. But guess what? Another donut fell into the chocolate pot. How many are left now?
Let’s keep counting and dancing until all the donuts have had their turn in the chocolate pot. It’s so much fun!
After all the dancing and falling into the chocolate pot, the donuts look a little different. Can you imagine what they look like now? Maybe they have chocolate all over their faces!
Wasn’t that a fun dance party with the donuts? You did a great job counting and dancing along. Let’s do it again sometime!
Donut Dance Moves: Let’s create our own donut dance! Ask the children to think about how a donut might move if it were dancing. Would it spin, twirl, or bounce? Encourage them to come up with their own dance moves and perform them. You can play some fun music and have a mini dance party where each child shows their donut dance move. This activity helps children use their imagination and express themselves through movement.
Chocolate Pot Counting Game: Create a simple game using paper donuts and a “chocolate pot” (a bowl or a box). Start with ten paper donuts and let the children take turns “dancing” a donut into the chocolate pot. Each time a donut goes into the pot, ask the children to count how many are left. This hands-on activity reinforces counting skills and helps children understand subtraction in a fun and engaging way.
Imagine and Draw: After the dance party, ask the children to draw what they think the donuts look like after falling into the chocolate pot. Do they have chocolate all over them? Are they smiling or surprised? Encourage the children to share their drawings with the class and describe their ideas. This activity promotes creativity and helps children articulate their thoughts and observations.
