TOY SHOP
(Toys)

• Split the children into teams and line them up at the back of the classroom. Mark a place from where the children will start from to run to the board: ”Start from here.“
• Attach several enlarged copies of the handout onto the board. The number of copies should correspond to the number of teams playing.
• In front of the children and with a copy of the handout on display, tell them that this is a toy shop and review the names of the toys.
• Bring the children’s attention to the robot in the table at the bottom of the page (for example) and focus on the number next to the robot. Ask: “What number is this?” elicit “4”. Now point to the robot on the shelf in the toy shop and ask: “How many robots are in the toy shop?” elicit “1 robot”.
• Do the simple sum as a class to show that 4 minus 1 equals 3 then, while pointing to an empty space on the shelf next to the robot, say: “How many robots are missing?” elicit “3”.
• Use the first child from a randomly selected group to demonstrate that one member from each team, should run to the board and draw the 3 missing robots on the shelf and then run back. Say: “Please run and draw 3 robots in the toy shop”.
• Check that the children are still in line and behind the starting line before saying: “Ready, steady, go!” and encouraging on child from each group to run and draw the correct number of robots.
• Repeat for the other toys in the toyshop and reward the team which finished first and/or draws the best pictures.
