You will need:

White board & pen.

Set of named leaves and answer sheet.

1.   In your area 20 numbered laminated leaves have been hidden for you to find and identify.

3.   On their white boards they need to write the numbers 1-20.

4.   Set the children off around your area to find the numbered leaves.

5.   When they find one, they need to write the name next to the number on their white board.

6.   If they are unsure, they can always come back and check with the named leaves.

7.   Remind them not to move any of the numbered leaves as other Pods will be using them.
