Little Red Hen Themed Counting Set

This Little Red Hen themed number counting set features events from the traditional version of the book. Children are invited to use arrows to connect the events in order. The set could also be used to introduce algorithms. After all an algorithm is a series of steps.

Each of the pages in the set is available in B/W and color. If you plan to use the pages as a worksheet, you will want to print them out in B/W. However, if you plan on using them as game boards over and over again printing them in color would make sense.

How to Use the Little Red Hen Themed Number Counting Gameboards

While there are many ways that you can use the gameboards, let me walk you through how I would use them with my students.

Begin by reading a traditional version of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Give each of your children the version of the gameboard you want them to work on along with a pencil.
Before starting the sequencing activity, you can have your children color the objects on the page if you like.
Have the children connect the box containing the word Start and Jack with his mom to the first object mentioned in the book (a bean) with an arrow.
Continue connecting the events and numbers in order.
After box ten is reached, draw an arrow from box ten with the word End.
