1 Taxi!
CHILD-INITIATED
Encourage number recognition by using number plates on wheeled toys in the outdoor area.
Resources
Trikes, tandem bikes, scooters and other wheeled toys, number cards (1-10), paper/ card, scissors, pens, hole punch, string (to make number plates), corresponding number signs (to hang on fence or hooks to identify parking bays), chalk.
Play suggestions
* Encourage the children to help make the number plates and signs and attach them to the vehicles. (Position the plates where they won't interfere with the wheels or pedals.)
* Designate an area in the outdoor space for the 'taxi rank' and support children in deciding how to arrange and organise the parking bays.
