You Ate the Dead Dog!
Te Comiste el Perro Muerto!
Directions: A number from 0 to 9 is chosen by one of the children and the child says the number out loud and adds: "Whoever says this number has eaten the dead dog!"

The children then take turns counting out loud remembering to skip the selected number. For example, if the selected number is four then the kids have to skip four, fourteen, twenty-four, etc. As they take turns counting out loud. Whoever forgets and says the selected number out loud loses and the other children say: "You ate the dead dog!"

This game can be played by 2 or more children and is very effective in helping them practice counting.
