Another in our series of fun counting games with totals up to 5. Have you tried counting cows and goats? Why not try counting the monkeys? The more young children do this type of activity the more confident they will become with number. After a while, rather than counting each monkey they will begin to see patterns and instantly recognise that there are 3 or 4 etc.
