Activity Title: How many cups?

Introductory Activity: Children and parents will count from 1 - 10 as they

sing along with video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR-cfDsHCGA

How to do: (Water is used to cook. Sometimes we have to measure the amount of

water we need to cook.) Parents will get 3 pots of different sizes and a cup.

Parents will help children to count the number of times the cup will have to be

filled to full each pot. Record the number of cups each time the pots are filled.

Children will then complete the worksheet. (see resources)

Parent’s checklist: Were children able to:

• Count the number of cups needed to full each pot?

• Complete the worksheet?

• Count to ten?

In/Outdoor Play:

Activity Title: Sprinkle Fun

How to play: Using a sprinkler or hose, create spray of water and have

children run through the water.

If children cannot engage in this activity because of the child’s health or you

do not have sprinkler or hose, let children pretend that they are playing in a

sprinkler water spray

Guided Creative Activity

Activity Title: My First Puzzle

How to play: Parents will assist children to paste the picture of the boy

drinking water found in the resources above to back of the puzzle template.

Parents will cut out the puzzle by following the marking on the back of the

picture.

The children will have fun fitting the puzzle together. Children can talk

about the picture. Parents may ask children, “Why do you think the boy is

drinking water.” The children may even make up a story about the picture.
