Maths: Play On and Off the Bus. You need some tiny soft toys or small plastic animals/people. In all it would be good to have about 12.  You need to create a ‘bus’ out of an old box. The bus can be as detailed or basic as you like. But it must fit up to 12 passengers!

How to play

Start the bus with 6, 10 or 12 passengers as appropriate for your child.

Make bus driving noises and create the sense of the bus driving from one ‘stop’ to another. Allow the bus to visit five stops. 

At each stop …  BEFORE taking the people off, ask how many will be left.  BEFORE letting the people get on, ask how many will be on the bus when it sets off again.

Maths: Counting practice, Lay cards with numbers on in a line 1 to 10  Ask your child to turn around or else blindfold them!  Swap two numbers, e.g. the 4 and the 14.  Ask the child to count along the line and to tell you when they reach a number which is in the wrong place.  Then they continue counting until they reach another mis-placed number. Can they then say which two numbers have been swapped? Repeat this, three times. They can do it for you too.
