Pardon the pun, but practicing numbers on a vacation just adds to the fun. No matter the age of your little ones, just pointing out all the places where there are numbers helps kids learn how important numbers are. Road numbers, prices on signs, hotel room doors, addresses, elevators, clocks, money and menus are just a few places. Children also enjoy reading the numbers or having someone else say their names. It’s easy to make connections with questions like: Are any of these numbers the same as how old you are? Are any of these numbers like our house number? etc. Another idea is giving a child a little notebook and special pencil for writing down numbers that s/he sees. Multiply your holiday fun with numbers! Any number of suggestions are welcome.
