Description

"Naughty Parrot" is a lively, interactive game where children in Key Stage 1 (with adaptability for Key Stage 2) spot and correct intentional counting errors made by a mischievous puppet, the Naughty Parrot. Teachers immerse in the parrot role, using varied counts and sequences, while children actively listen, identify mistakes, and correct the parrot. The game can progress from counting in ones to more complex sequences, ensuring children stay engaged and refine their numerical skills.
