A fun math video to help teach your child counting skills, the numbers in English and basic math concepts of addition and subtraction. Use Mega Blocks to help with number recognition games, builder games for boys and much more, learn the number names in English and count to 20.
Are you trying to make the counting lesson for your child much easier? We have an idea here that depends mainly on the Lego blocks and building a tower out of them just to help the child to count numbers. All that is needed for this lesson is the different Lego blocks - Mega blocks - and a dice to follow its numbers.
Challenging the child is always a useful idea and in this game playing along with the child and making it appear more like a race to see who would win at the end. It starts with throwing the dice and then building a tower that consists of that number of Lego blocks, this will be repeated until the number that is being taught to the kid in the first place is reached. Choosing that number will depend on the parent and what he/she wants to teach to the child.
The challenge will be in who is going to reach the final number first, the parent or the child. Kids will be looking forward to being the winners but this might not always happen because after all it all depends on the numbers appearing on the dice. If the kids lost, they will feel a little bit bad and thus will ask for this game to be repeated until they manage to win, which is a good thing because they will be more trained to count and will learn how to count (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5HSmzhC5nw).
Teaching the kid to count could happen through different ways and through playing different games and through lots of different techniques but always depending on those games such as Lego will be more exciting for the kid, especially if he/she already loves to play with Lego in general - which we are sure of because there is no home out there that is free from Lego.
When the kid is playing this game and trying to reach the number that the whole game is about, let them double check the numbers they are adding to one another because that's what counting is all about and that's how they manage to learn the English numbers at the end.
In addition to using Lego blocks, there are still lots of other tools and games which the child could play with in order to learn to count, such as using play-doh through which counting the numbers could still be a good option (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I0FdpAigpU).
It doesn't matter what the kids are using in order to learn to count, but what matters the most is that the kids are interested about it all and that they want to keep repeating in order to learn more, because practice and repetition are the main elements of learning anything.
We have other lesson ideas that parents could try with their kids and which are played with Lego as well, such as building small blocks out of Lego that will be also based on using a dice and adding more blocks every single time according to the number written down (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roMEZv1OObc). The ideas that depend on Lego are numerous and the best thing about them is the fact that they educate the kids when it comes to different mathematical operations as well, such as addition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLfSeSHWE78).
Now play along with your child and let them count the Lego blocks that they have until they eventually reach number 20 - or the number which you were intending to teach them through this lesson in the first place.
