A tale from our core book pack

One Gorilla

(1 more, add 1)

  • Read the story with your child
  • Count the animals together
  • Can your child say how many animals there will be before you turn each page? Which number comes next when we count?
  • Together, count the animals to check how many there are.
  • Stress the phrase “one more” to your child

Beyond One Gorilla:

Play a ‘one more’ game:

  • Use the number cards 1 – 10 with your child
  • Place them face down, each time you turn over a card, say the number you see, then say the number that is 1 more.
