About this idea
A small world set on the table and one question: how many animals can you find at the water? Children search in pairs, then count together, and the answer is genuinely different every time because someone has moved a sheep. Counting here is counting something real rather than reciting to a teacher. Three pairs at the tray, and the rest of the group with a picture of the same set to look at while they wait their turn.
