Then added in some of the pool noodle rings, fun ice cream bowls, bugs, cars, road tape strips (just road tape on black cardstock), ramp books, and SUMMER STEM I CAN BUILD challenge cards on the wall for inspiration. We cut them in different lengths to spice it up too. More pool noodle fun in the blocks’ center! Cut some of the pool noodles in half, creating long ramps.
It’s a simple game, but students go crazy for it! Students pick a card, count out the corresponding amounts, place the items in the pot, mix, and eat the stew.
You can read all about Counting STEWS & BREWS HERE. Summer counting stew is a fun counting game. Use tweezers for older pre-k students to develop those fine motor muscles. Students put together the watermelon counting puzzles and then place the corresponding number of seeds (aka black beans) in the ten frames. Watermelon seed count! I don’t know about you, but we eat watermelon all summer long! I have excited to make a counting game using watermelons. You can do this activity outside or inside in the sensory table. It was fun to compare the height of the different number towers. See the foam numbers floating around? Students also were making number towers with the noodles! Students would identify the number, stack up the corresponding amount of pool noodles to make a tower, and place the number on top. Students stack the pool noodles in various patterns, and because they are in the water, the pattern towers float! In the photo above, I cut about a one-inch thick or so. It’s just a plastic tub filled with some water and cut-up pool noodles. So for this pool noodle activity, students are making PATTERNS in a tub of water. They’re cheap (at most dollar stores), colorful, and you can cut them up they float and do tons of fun activities with them! They are just so versatile! I am totally loving using pool noodles in the classroom for summer. This post contains affiliate links which means I earn a tiny commission when you use my links at no cost to you.
