How to:Gather a group of about 5-10 children. Make them sit in a circle and ask them to count numbers from 1 loudly. Make them count the numbers turn by turn. This way one child will have to pay attention to previous child’s turn. The child who misses out a number or utters a wrong one, is eliminated from the game. Note:The counting range depends on the age of the children in the circle. It is advisable to gather a group of about same age so that everyone is familiar with same numbers. Happy Gaming!

Significance:This activity will enhance your child’s listening skills, attentiveness, and patience.

 Count out loud

How to:The activity is very simple yet difficult. Enjoy laughing when your child fumbles with this. Simply ask your child to count the numbers backwards, example, 10,9,8,7,6,… and so on.You can try this activity with your child. Let your child see that you too can fail but can still have fun. Happy Gaming!

Significance:This will help your child to tame his/her mind.

 Backward counting

How to:Instead of sending your child to mental math classes, why not do it the old fashioned way? Start with one digit numbers with only one function- addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Instruct your child to calculate numbers mentally without a pencil or paper. You can level this activity up depending on your child’s ability and age. Happy Gaming!

Significance:This activity will help your child’s brain’s processing ability.
