Counting Patterns and Chains
Check out Activities IA4.6 On the Mat, page 65, and IA4.8 Chains, page 6 to get kids up on their feet and counting how many people are in their group. These are a good fit for your emergent and early counters.
If you haven't tried Happy Counting with your groups, this is a very flexible routine that can be easily adapted as a choral activity where everyone says the numbers to a more complex version where students start out loud, then count silently until the teacher prompts for a group response. Here's a video clip of the "silent" version and the easy version. Those of you teaching grade level groups can use this routine with decimals and fractions to create an upper elementary version!
Freeze Video
Here's a video from Youtube that has a cartoon character with action steps and music for the kids to dance, FREEZE, hop, FREEZE, and skip, FREEZE that may make it easier to play the Chains game.
