See more activities in: Preschool, Counting & Numbers

Learning to count is a key math skill. But taking the next step, being able to connect numbers with their names, is difficult for preschoolers. For example, a child might be able to count to five by rote, but unable to count out five objects-- connecting the numbers to the items. Rather than just counting fingers with your child, try using this human number line as an enjoyable, life-sized teaching aid.

With this activity, you can easily build on the numbers your child has learned well and introduce new numbers to him at his own pace. Kids walk a giant number line, physically moving a certain number of steps, as they make a mental bridge to a specific number.

What You Need:

  • Clothesline rope
