o Check that they do this correctly.
o Ask these questions.
What colour will the next brick in the line be?
What colour is the brick after that?
And then one after that?

In a Minute!
You will need A stopwatch (most mobile phones have one) A timer, which can accurately time one minute (60 seconds) The number track (see below) Pencils or pens and paper Counters, which can be LegoTM pieces, dried beans, wooden beads or even something edible like raisins!
How to play • Use a stop watch on a phone and with the child, watch it count from
0 seconds to 60 seconds. That is one minute. Notice that as soon asit reaches 59 seconds, it turns to 1 minute!
• Lay the number track where the child can see it.• Both lay out your piece of paper and take up your pen ready to start.• Now set a timer for 1 minute.• You both have to write numbers, starting with 1, and working up to
towards 10. You write as many numbers as you can before the timergoes off – that is in just 60 seconds.
• When the timer pings, stop writing.• Look at each other’s work. Who has written the most, correctly
formed, numbers?• The winner takes a counter.• Play again. First person to collect 3 counters is the winner!
Rules 1. The numbers you write must be easy to read and
correctly formed. So, you MUST start at the top.2. The grown-up must write with the hand they do not
normally write with, e.g. if they are right-handed, theymust right with their left hand. And vice versa.
3. If a number is not well-written, it does NOT count!
