TALLY STICKS - Center2Pockets

Craft Sticks Make FUN 
And Colorful Tally Marks!

My SunnyDaz Kids love to work with Tally Sticks.

It is a great Centers activity.

Tally Sticks are a FUN and EASY way 

to introduce  and practice: 

Tally Marks

Counting and

Skip Counting by 5's.

They are easy to handle and organize.

The Tally Sticks made the transition 

to recording Tally Marks easy.

I bought a package of colored craft sticks.  

They came in four colors of 

red, yellow, blue and green.

I also bought a package of 

plain wooden craft sticks.

Now I had five colors and an easy way 

for kids to make sets of five with 

Tally Sticks! 

(What else could I call them?)

    

When I used the Tally Sticks in a demonstration my SunnyDaz Kids asked 

if they could count with them.  

Kids wanting to count? 

Of course I said "YES!"

And another Center2Pockets activity was born.

I love it when they get so excited 

about a demonstration that 

they are just itching to try it.

Give Tally Sticks a try with your kids

 and watch them go!
    

Enjoy!
