Main Activity:
8) Before the teacher start the game, the children would have to
listen to some rules. If they do not know how to observe the
rules, the game will have to stop.
(e.g rule 1: take turns with your groupmates so everyone will
have a chance to play.
Rule 2: no running and pushing around. Everyone can walk
and wait for their turn.
Rule 3: all children will have to keep their volume down as
the other classes are having their lesson.
Can we all agree on this?
9) Teacher will split the children into two groups of 3.
10) One group will represent family dilly dally, another group
will represent family work play.
11) Teacher will inform the children t hat they have to role play
the families working style.
Today, we are going to act like the family that you are in.
12) Teacher will tell children that biscuits will be placed at
different area of the playground and they will have to carry
out the mission like the families.
The playground will be the place where ants find their food.
So you have to go and find your food at the area.
13) Teacher will ask each group to take 20 pieces of beads
representing as the starting amount of food they have.
Ants! You will be taking the beads to represent peanuts
because we do not want to waste any real food. So lets count
20 peanuts for each family.
14) Teacher will read out the story and children will pick up
different options at different parts of the day.
(1. In the morning, the two families do what they do
everyday.
2. The sun rise up to the middle of the sky and the family
dilly dally woke up to find food as family work play continue
finding food.
3. The sun went down and its dinner time for both families!
So lets see how much food the families will eat! )

Before you find the food, how much do you have?
How many do you have now?
Is it more than, less than or more?
How many more, how many less?
After a day of hardwork, at the end of the day, how much
food do you have?
Lets keep it all at the basement and gather back at the
carpet.

their friends and how many more or how many less they

you first started?
How many more? How many less?
20) Each child is given the opportunity to share how they got the
answer.
(e.g. tell everyone how you got your answers okay? )
Evaluation:
-

Children are very messy as they were too excited over the
lesson.Teacher did not reinforce the rules and was unclear
with instructions given to the children.

The difficulty of the lesson should be increased and the

questions asked during the lesson should be clearer to the
children as they could not understand the meaning of the
questions.
