When I taught Spanish to that age group, I used a lot of music and puppets. They LOVED the puppets and were eager to do whatever the puppets told them to do. They also loved songs with actions.
I hope this helps.

you can get counting bears. they sell them at wal-mart. They are great. They are not only great for counting, but for learning colors also because they come in different colors. How many blue do I have, if I add 2 more red ones how many does that make, etc.

you can google it. type in a lesson plan for 4 year olds, and you can even print out color sheets to go along with your lesson. Good Luck!

Hi E.
My best girlfriend is an elementary school teacher...she just finished her degree last year and this is her first year teaching. The other day she was telling me about a special activity she did with her students and I thought it was so unique and cute....She went to the bookstore and bought a book about fireflies(there are tons of those in the kids section at any bookstore) and she got a large clear glass jar and filled it with lights(the small christmas lights) and plugged them into the wall of her classroom (those were supposed to be firelies in the jar) she shut off all the lights and pulled the shades so it was dim while she read them the story aloud...the kids LOVED it!!! I thought it was kind of a cool way to get the kids interested in the book she was reading them.
Hope this helps some, or at least sparks a new idea of your own!!!

When my boys were that age we played Bingo...It was a blast and they really learned number/pattern recognition. Just a thought...

What about outdoor hopscotch? That would be active and fun.. Line 'em up and everyone can get a turn to jump to a number you pick, or their age, or based on how many --- whatevers -- you can count outside
