100 Hungry Ants
Before the kids arrive at school in the morning, hide 100 little plastic ants around the classroom. Don’t hide them too well because they will be too hard to find. I usually place them around the room in the blocks center, reading center, by the sink, and any other places kids are sure to go during the day. Read the book, 100 Hungry Ants, to the class at large group time. Throughout the day, as kids are learning, playing, moving about the room, tell them to collect any ants they find and place them on the 100 chart. The goal is to find 100 ants by the end of the day, and the children have to work together to achieve the goal! I always hide a few more than 100, just to make sure we find 100 by the end of the day. I bought my little plastic ants from a dollar store years ago. You can also find them on Amazon: 144 Tiny Plastic Ants or 1 1/2″ Plastic Ants.
