Pre-primary 2 at 4: counting, colours and listening
Pre-primary 2 is the middle year of pre-primary in Sierra Leone, for children of about 4. Here are short counting and colour games for home.
Getting started
A five-minute game for today
Put out a few groundnuts and ask your child to give you three. Then four. Then ask how many are left on the table.

The middle year
By pre-primary 2 most children know the classroom routine. This year adds counting small groups, naming colours and listening to longer instructions.
Together 02
Which one is red?
In Discover, the voice asks “Which one is red?” and your child chooses among four coloured circles. Play it again with clothes on the washing line.

Counting real things
Counting things your child can touch — stones, spoons, mangoes — makes numbers real. Move each one as you count so none is counted twice.

Listening games
Give two-step instructions: “Pick up the cup and put it on the chair.” Following them is a skill Class 1 will ask for every day.
