In this version, we have the numbers 0-10 written on index cards. We have done a lot with these simple little cards. In the beginning I would line them all up and just point at them as we counted (in both English and Spanish). Then I would ask Ryan to hand me the 5, or make the 8 jump up and down. Lots of silly stuff to practice identifying each number. After he could identify all of his numbers we practiced putting them in order (when we do it backwards we call it blastoff, which off course he thinks is great!) For the easy version of What's Missing we line up all the numbers, he closes his eyes and I take one of the cards. He opens his eyes and guesses which card is missing. Then it's my turn to close my eyes while he takes a card. It only took a couple of times for this to be too easy. To make it more challenging, when you take a card mix the line all up. See how they try to figure out which card is missing. If they need a little help suggest they line the cards up again. Like I said, these simple little cards have gotten tons of use, in fact I think it's time to add numbers 11-20 to our set!
