How Many More, How Many Less
Objectives: to visualize quantities to 10
to practice the basic facts of 10
Materials: 10 two-colored counters, Tens Frames board
Procedure:
1. Have the children place from 1 to 5 counters on the frame and tell how many there are. Encourage the children to use
one row at a time. As children become more accustomed to this activity, encourage them to use numerals also.
2. After a while, have children tell how many counters there are and then tell how many more they will need to have 5 in
all. Have the children record how many they have and how many more are needed. Model an addition or subtraction
sentence. For example, 3 + 2 = 5, which 2 is the missing addend, or 5 – 3 = 2, in which the difference show how many
more are needed.
3. At a later time, have children work with 6 to 10 counters. Encourage children to keep a record of how they counted and
how many they had each time.
4. After a while, ask children, how many more they would need to have 10 in all. Again model for the children different
ways they can show the counters using numerals and number sentences.

Subtraction Cards (quantities of 10)

Objective: to subtract quantities
Materials: subtraction cards, counters
Players: individual or pairs
Procedure:
1. Child 1 reads the total on the card, for example 10.
2. Child 2 gets 10 counters.
3. Child 1 says "take away three".
4. Child 2 gets the subtraction card and lifts the right hand flap that indicates 3 dots.
5. Child 1 counts remaining dots and says "seven".
6. Both children write the corresponding equation: 10 – 3 = 7

Grab Bag with Partners (up to quantities of 10)

Objective: to practice addition skills
Materials: clothespins, paper sack, individual chalkboards
Number of participants: pairs
Procedure:
1. Partner A fills the bag with 10 clothespins (or depending on what number is being worked with).
2. Partner B reaches into the bag and takes out some clothespin, showing Partner A what has been removed.
3. They predict how many clothespin they think are left.
4. Then they check their predictions, and each child records the equation on a chalkboard or a sheet such as the one
below.

Name___________________________________
I played a game today.
These are the equations I made.
Number Train Graph (up to quantities of 10)
Objective: to practice addition skills
Materials: clothespin (2 colors), Manila or kraft paper
Number of participants: individual or small group
Procedure:
1. The children try to find all the possible arrangements for the combinations that make up 10
2. As they find the arrangements, place it in the appropriate column of the Manila paper. (The links can be labeled with
the labeled possible combinations, or the children can label the links as needed.)

What Numbers Can You Make (up to quantities of 10)

Objective: to practice addition skills
Materials: clothespin, crayons,
Number of participants: individual or small group
Procedure:
1. The children make clothespin links (each link made with different color clothespin and no stack more than ten
clothespins long). There can be more than one link of any particular number. The object is to try to make each of the
numbers from one to ten in as many ways as possible.
2. The children are allowed to use more than one link to make any number, but they may not break any links apart. If
they can’t make a number, they are to cross it out. If they can make the number, they write the equation that describes
the trains used.
3. The game can be played over and over, as it will be a new experience each time the numbers used changes.

Find 10
Objective: to explore different combinations that make 10
Materials: 6 sets of numeral cards (1- 9)
Procedure:
1. All cards are dealt. Last card is turned face up. Each player keeps the cards dealt to him in a stack, face-down,
without looking at them.
2. By turns, players turn over the top card of his stack. If this card can be used with one on the table to make a total of
10, the player can take it and keep the pair. If there are no cards that can be used, he has to discard his card in the
middle of the table, face up.
3. The player who collects the most number of pairs wins.

Draw 10
Objective: to explore different combinations that make 10
Materials: 6 sets of numeral cards (1- 9)
Procedure:
1. One card is drawn from the deck and is set aside throughout the game, so that there will be an odd card without a
mate at the end of the game. All the other cards are dealt.
2. Each player goes through the cards received trying to find pairs that make 10. All the pairs thus made are discarded in
the middle of the table.
3. The players then take turns, each holding her cards like a fan and letting the person to her left draw one of them
without looking at them. If the person who draws the card can use it to make 10 with one of the cards in her hand, she
discards the pair in the middle of the table. If she cannot use it, she has to keep it. She then holds all her cards like a
fan so that the person to her left can draw one of them by chance.
4. Play continues until one person is left holding the odd card and loses the game.
Tens Concentration
Objective: to explore different combinations that make 10
Materials: 6 sets of numeral cards (1- 9)
Procedure:
1. Sixteen cards are placed in the middle of the table, face down, in a 4 x 4 arrangement. The remaining cards are placed
faced-down in a stack.
2. The players take turns turning over two cards, trying to turn a pair that totals 10. If a pair can be made, the player keeps it
and continues to play as long as he is successful. If he is not successful, he returns the two cards to their original face-down
positions and replaces any cards he took with new ones from the deck.
3. With 16 face-down cards on the table, the turn passes to the next player to the left..
4. The person who collects the greatest number of pairs is the winner.

Variation: This game can be varied by increasing the number of cards placed on the table. A 5 x 5 or 6 x 6 arrangement may
be more interesting.

Go 10
Objective: to explore different combinations that make 10
Materials: 6 sets of numeral cards (1- 9)
Procedure:
1. All the cards are dealt.
2. The players take turns asking specific people for specific cards in a way similar to the card game Go Fish. For example,
John may say to Carol do you have a 1?" If Carol has a 1, she has to give it up to John. John then lays this 1 and a 9 in
front of himself, face up.
A player can continue asking for a card as long as he gets the card he requested. If he does not get the card he asked for,
the turn passes to the person who said, "I don't have it."
3. The person who makes the greatest number of pairs is the winner.

 Car Coloring
 Objective: to count the number of dots and add them
Materials: two big dices, box of giant crayons, 4-5 identical cardboards, cut-outs of cars
Number of players/participants: 4-5
Procedure:
1. Each player gets a cardboard cut-out of car.
2. All players sit together.
3. First player rolls the big dice and count the number of dots.
4. Using crayon, the player puts the total number of dots on his car cut-out.
5. Going clockwise, the next player repeats steps 1-4.
6. The game goes on and on until a player has his car completely covered with dots.
7. The one whose car is completely covered with dots wins.

C. OTHER LANGUAGE ARTS ACTIVITIES

Bingo Tic-Tac-Toe

ANG BARUMBADONG BUS

(RENE O. VILLANUEVA)

“Ako ang hari ng kalsada,” sabi niya

Takot ang lahat ng jeep at kotse sa kaniya.
“Sa daan Ako ang tunay na bida!”

Walang kinatatakutan si Kas. Hindi siya takot sa dyip at kotse.

Hindi rin siya takot sa taksi. kahit sa pulis at pasahero, hindi rin takot si Kas.

Ang bilis-bilis ng takbo ni Kas.

Kaya takot na takot ang mga pasahero. “Para! Para-a-a-a!” sabi nila
Pero humihinto lang si Kas kung saan at kailan niya gusto.
Pagbaba ng mga pasahero, nerbiyos na nerbiyos sila.
“Dahan-dahan lang ang takbo,” sabi nila kay Kas.
Hindi sila pinansin ng barumbado.

Kahit pulis ay walang magawa.

“Ayan na! Ayan na si Kaskasero!”
Unahan ang lahat sa pagtakbo para iwasan ang bus na barumbado.
Talagang walang magawa ang lahat kay Kas.
Kahit ilang ulit siyang pinagsabihan, talagang matigas ang ulo.
“Ako ang hari ng kalsada,” lagi niyang sinasabi.
“Gagawin ko ang lahat ng gusto ko!”

Walang pinakikinggan si Kas. “Dahan-dahan lang, kaskasero,” sabi ng mga halaman sa daan.
Binugahan lang sila ng usok ni Kas. Saka nagtatawang haharurot nang husto.

Inubo nang inubo ang mga halaman. Pero hindi man lang lumingon si Kaskasero. Sa loob-loob niya: “yan ang mabuti sa
pakialamero.” At muli siyang kumaripas ng takbo.

Minsa’y kinausap siya ni Ulap.

“Wag ka namang buga nang buga ng usok.”
Nangitim pati ilong ni Ulap. Sa dumi ng usok, muntik na siyang maiyak.
“Salbahe talaga si Kaskasero!
Siya ay bus na walang modo.”

Kahit ang buwan at araw ay walang nagawa kay Kas.

Wala siyang pinakikinggan kahit na sino.

“Ako ang hari ng kalsada,” ang katwiran niya.

“Magagawa ko kahit ano ang gusto ko!”

Isang araw, naglasing si Kas.

“Glug-glug-glug-glug.”
Inom nang inom si Kas.
“Glug-glug-glug-glug.”
Pinigilan siya ng ulap at araw.
Pero hindi nakinig si Kaskasero.

Kahit lasing na lasing, naisip pa rin niya ang magyabang. Kahit paekis-ekis ang mga gulong, pumaspas pa rin siya sa gitna ng
daan.
“Ako ang hari ng kalsada,” sabi niya
Saka bumusina nang bumusina.

Mabilis na mabilis ang takbo ni Kas. Mabuti na lang at wala siyang sakay. Lasing na lasing ang bus na walang modo.

Ang bilis-bilis ng takbo ni Kas. Mas mabilis pa sa dyip. Mas mabilis pa sa taksi. Mas mabilis pa sa kotse. Pero hindi pa rin siya
nasiyahan. Ang takbo’y lalo pa niyang binilisan.

Nabangga si Kas. Bali-bali ang bakal at tubo. Wasak ang makina at baluktot ang tambutso. Parang napisang lata si Kaskasero.

Hindi na ulit nakalabas ng daan si Kaskasero. Siya ay itinapon sa tambakan ng mga lumang sasakyan. Doon sa libingan ng mga
walang modo.

Hindi na makapagyabang si Kaskasero.

Tulungan ninyo akong hanapin ang daan patungo kay Glug-glug Gasolina, ako’y uhaw na uhaw na!.

CIRIACO
ANG MALUPIT NA KAPITAN NG BARKO

Si Ciriaco ay kapitan ng barko.

Malupit siya, kaya’t takot sa kanya ang mga tao.
Agad niyang pinarurusahan ang nagkakamaling tauhan.
Walang mahalaga kay Ciriaco kundi ang presyo ng kargamento.

Minsan, sa kanilang paglalayag, biglang dumating ang bagyong malakas.

“Mabigat ang laman ng barko baka kami lumubog,” naisip ni Ciriaco.

Nang magsimulang pasukin ng tubig ang sasakyan, ipinatapon ni Ciriaco ang ibang kasangkapan.
Pero patuloy sa paglakas ang bagyo.
Muli niyang ipinatapon ang ibang gamit sa barko.
“Lulubog po tayo kundi babawasan an gating kargamento!” sigaw ng isang tauhan.

“Kayo ang dapat itapon!” sigaw ni Ciriaco

Pero biglang sinalpok ng alon ang barko.
KAhit nagkakagulo ang lahat, may nakaisip na ang kapitan ay iligtas.
Nang makaahon, nag-utos si Ciriaco,
“Sige, itapon ang mga kargamento.”
Dahil sa ginawa sa kanya ng mga tauhan nasabi niya sa sarili ng kapitan:
“Maaring gawin at palitan ang kargamento, pero hindi maaring gawin at palitan ang tao.
 Ollie’s Jar
by Carol Moore

Ollie is an eel. He likes his home in a jar.

When he comes out he swims over his jar.
He swims under his jar
He swims through his jar
When he is done, he swims back into his jar
Now there are two eels, Ollie and Izzy
When Ollie and Izzy come out, they can swim over, under, through, around and back into their jar together

were a propeller)

The Bus Row, Row, Row Your Boat

There is a painted bus,   Row, row, row your boat,  

With twenty painted seats,   gently down the stream,  
It carries painted people   Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,  
Along the painted streets.   Life is but a dream.  
They pull the painted bell,  
The painted driver stops,  
And they all get out together  
At the little painted shops.

The airplane goes up:    Train is a’ comin’, train is a’ comin’,

The airplane goes down:   Verse:

The airplane flies high    ____ is the conductor, Oh yes
  arms outstretched, turn body around    ____ is the passenger, Oh yes.
Over the town!    Train is a’  comin’

City Traffic by Betsy Franco

Beep, honk, step on the brake.

City traffic makes us wait.

Taxis dodging here and there.

Cars and vans are everywhere.

Buses pick up girls and boys.

Trucks look like they’re giant toys.

Blinking stoplights flash and glow.

City traffic’s stop and go.

Pull to the right for the siren sound.

Fire trucks are all around.

Traffic stops while a car gets towed.

Lots of people cross the road.

City traffic’s really cool,

But I hope that I’m not late for school!
INDOOR/OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

-ing Charades
Objective: to identify the inflectional ending –ing
Materials: 8 word cards: clean, grow, hop, paint, skate, sleep, swim, tickle (with a line underneath the word)
Number of players/participants: Groups of eight
Procedure:
1. Make a set of word cards for each group. Mix up the cards and place them facedown in a pile in the middle of each
group.
2. The first player in each group takes the top card and reads it silently, without showing it to the others.
3. The player acts out the word as the group guesses the action. The correct answer should be phrased like this: (Child’s
name) is _____ing.
4. If the answer is correct, the team helps the player spell the –ing form of the word aloud. The player writes the word on
the line and keeps the card. The teammate who correctly guessed the action picks the next card and acts out that word
for his group. The team with the most cards at the end wins.

Passengers in the Tricycle

 Two children form a tricycle by facing each other and placing their hands on each other’s shoulders.   Another child is a
passenger and gets in between their arms.  The rest of the class forms tricycles with passengers.  There should be one extra
passenger in the center of the tricycles.  When a whistle is blown, all the passengers hurry to another tricycle.  The one left over
then goes to the center and the game continues. 
 

Jump out of the Plane

Place two ropes on the ground. Ask them to pretend that they are in a plane. The children line up single file and jump out of the
plane one at a time.  After every child has jumped, move the rope to make the space wider.  When a player can no longer jump
the distance he’s/she’s out of the game.  The object is to see how wide a distance the children can jump.  (You can also play this
game by drawing lines in the dirt or sand.)

Car Relays

Divide the class into teams with five or six players each. Have players line up single file, and one at a time pretend they are
driving a car to a designated point and go back.  The first player tags the second player who then does the same thing to the
distance.  The first team to have all players drive is the winner.
