Show 5-10 picture cards of healthy actions. Model counting each card aloud with the class. Ask students to clap once for each healthy habit they see.
Count aloud, clap, and name the healthy action on each card.
Review one-to-one correspondence and number order to 20. Model counting a set of health items and matching it to a number card. Model comparing two groups using more, fewer, and equal.
Repeat number names, watch the model, and answer quick questions with thumbs up/down or verbal responses.
Place students in pairs. Give each pair picture cards to sort into categories such as food, exercise, hygiene, and rest. Ask students to count each group and place the correct number card beside it.
Sort cards, count each set carefully, and match the correct number card.
Show two groups of health cards at a time. Ask students which group has more, fewer, or if they are equal. Encourage students to explain their thinking using sentence frames.
Compare groups, use counting to prove answers, and explain with a partner.
Distribute a simple worksheet with picture sets to count and a few comparison items. Circulate to support and note student understanding.
Count objects, write or trace numbers, and circle the group with more or fewer as directed.
Invite students to share one healthy habit they counted today and one number they matched. Review the key idea that counting helps us keep track of healthy choices.
Share responses orally and listen to classmates.
End with a quick chant: 'Count it, match it, keep your body healthy!' Ask students to name one number and one healthy habit before leaving the circle.
