Guess the Number
Let your child think of a number between a stated range of numbers. You try to guess the number by asking questions. Here’s a sample of how it might go: Your child: I’m thinking of a number between 1 and 100. You ask: Is it more than 50? Your child: No. You: Is it an even number? Child: No. You: Can you divide this number into three equal parts? And so forth. After you have guessed the number, let your child guess a number that you are thinking of by asking similar questions.
One benefit of this game is that, by asking questions about numbers, it helps the child to develop an understanding of some concepts, characteristics and meanings of numbers. If your child doesn’t know the difference between odd and even numbers, this is an opportunity to explain and help them understand.
Great ideas and I especially liked your “Are We There Yet” suggestions!
