This simple counting activity is easy to setup, can be played with one or more children and it is fun too!

 simple counting activity 

Simply use a large piece of paper and markers:

 paper & markers 
Add numbers(we used 1 – 10), and encircle the numbers to give the child some guiding as to where to add the objects to:

 numbered circles

The instruction is to find objects in the room(we played in the craft room, hence the craft objects), counting the objects to fit them into the right circle. One can call out a random number or work in order. When this activity is done with more than one child, assign a number to each child and do it in that manner, giving each child a turn.
 counting objects

Count the objects once again, making observations about which circle has the least, the most etc. (throwing in some mathematical vocabulary)

This can be turned into a memory game too: ask the child to close eyes, remove some objects from a circle, let the child see the circles and try and remember what objects were in that particular circle. Start with only one circle, gradually making it more.
Simple, but fun! That is what learning is all about!
