Teaching Ordinal Numbers

Lost week we did activities on ordinal numbers. I didn’t need much time to teach what ordinal numbers are. It took only a minute.  But, we did lot of activities (actually I tried to integrate the concept in our day to day activities) which my little one enjoyed a lot.

In our usual play time in the terrace, my child was playing with the cloth clips. I asked her to tell the color of the 4^th  clip, to interchange the 2^nd and 4^th clip and also asked her to find the 7^th  clip from left and the 2^nd clip from the right.

I also applied the same technique, when my child was busy seeing our family album.  She enjoyed finding people when I was telling 2^nd from left, 4^th from right and so on.

When she was playing with her friend, I gave them 10 chances each and they started counting it as first chance, 2^nd chance and so on.

Then, we collected few objects and I asked her to put the objects in the cup as per the instructions.  She read the instruction on her own and finished the task.
