Beyond Handa’s Hen:
Play a ‘one more’ game:
- Say the numbers on the 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
Sing some number rhymes together with a counting focus:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Once I Caught a Fish Alive
