Points of Interest

  • Children enjoy keeping the numbers secret until the end.
  • Older children can find it very funny when they draw zero. They have fun pretending that they are taking objects from the bowl and pretending to hide objects under their hands.

Control of Error

Correct sequencing of numbers and long term retention

Variations and Extensions

  • Instead of having objects in a bowl children can get a number of objects from around the classroom or house (3 spoons, 7 books, 2 socks, etc.). They can hide the objects in their hands or pockets if they are small enough, larger objects can be hidden under shirts.
