A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 1 min to prepare · 12 min to explore · 2 min to head home. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- Nothing at all, just your fingers for counting
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Start at one. Can you spot one big tree?
Now two. Two birds? Two stones?
Keep going, finding a group of three, four, five, all the way to ten.
- Together
Count out loud on your fingers together.
Can you count back down on the way home?
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
