Shells on the Seashore!

Bring a little seaside fun into your number and counting lessons with this colourful Shells on the Seashore activity!
Children count the different coloured shells on the seashore and record how many they can see for each colour. This provides a fun and engaging way to practice counting, number recognition and one-to-one correspondence, while also encouraging children to identify and sort objects by colour.
The activity can be used as a whole-class teaching activity, with the PowerPoint slide displayed on your interactive whiteboard, or as an independent or small-group activity using the landscape PDF worksheet.
It is a simple, visual resource that can be used to reinforce early mathematical skills and make number and counting practice more enjoyable.
Includes:
• PowerPoint teaching slide
• Landscape PDF worksheet
• Number and counting practice
• Colour recognition and sorting
• Suitable for early years and young learners
