 Introduction (warmer activity + teacher introduction/demonstration of small group activities)

I will describe the camel for the students by saying; I have one hump, two big eyes, long bushy
eyelashes and one leathery mouth, who am I? And I will ask the students to guess what’s inside the
box.

Students will give me different answers.

I will listen to students’ answers.

Time: 15 min

I will shake the mystery box then I will ask the students if they are ready to see what’s inside the box

the large plastic cup. Finally they will fill the plastic cup with the sand to create their desert craft cup.

 Independent Experience(small group activity 3)

Independent Experience (The stairway and the camel activity):

In this activity they will play two students to six students. Each student will have a different rock

characterized by it. The student will throw the dice once in each session, the camel will drop the

student to a lower number, while the stairway will raise the student to a higher number.

This game or activity benefits students with mathematical intelligence, as they will develop their

mathematical skills in counting numbers from 1 to 40.
