Rock n' roll counting

This little girl is a smarty....but I have to admit that sometimes her counting can be a little off....(skipping from the number 6 to the number 11, and such).
So we decided to get a little practice in, while incorporating some rock and roll at the same time.

We used crayons for the counting object and a guitar as the chosen instrument, but anything will work.
I placed a certain number of crayons on the floor, and she would count them out loud.
However many crayons she counted, was how many times she would strum the guitar strings.


I added some crayons, then took some away.....then let her add some and take some away. I'd have her strum fast, then slow...then pluck one string at a time.

A simple activity, but she had a great time with it.


Try it out!
