Tell your child for this activity you have a paper with numbers on it. This paper will help us find out how far the car goes using numbers.

Things you may say:
“My car is 12 numbers far.”
“Your car is 14 numbers more than mine.”
“My car is slower by 2 numbers.”
“His car is the same number as yours.”
End: Give your child 5 minutes warning to end this activity. Have your child clean up with you.
