Simple games





Something so simple as a chalk hopscotch game, drawn on the concrete, held Libby and Donnagh's interest for quite a sustained period of time this morning. Libby took on the role of teacher and demonstrated how to play to Donnagh. It was great to observe Libby and Donnagh having fun sharing this experience while developing physical skills such as balancing, co-ordination, turning, hopping and jumping. This experience also provided opportunities for Libby and Donnagh to practice mathematical concepts such as counting forwards, backwards, and working in an ordered sequence to complete the game.
