Popcorn Counting

Pop, hop, and count your way to fun with this lively popcorn-inspired activity!

Step 1: Get Ready to Pop!

Clear a safe space where everyone can move freely.
Gather students and explain that they’ll be bouncing like popcorn kernels while counting together.

For more fun, vary the speed: slow pops for low numbers and quick pops for higher ones.
Try counting backward or in multiples (e.g., by 2s, 5s, or 10s) to mix it up.
