Blast Off

I have been trying to teach my Kinder kids to count backwards this week and they have been having a little trouble with the concept. I thought about how they count down Space Shuttle Launches so came up with an idea that has been so fun and worked wonders. We hunch down on the floor and start counting backwards from 20 to 0 and slowing start rising and then when we get to 0 we jump up in the air and yell Blast Off. The kids have loved it and can now count backwards and anytime we get done early with a project and have a spare minute or two-they say Let's do Blast Off!!!
Truth is I think I like doing it as much as they do and love that they enjoy it so much!!!!
