Explain the Measuring Games to Children. Would you please help me to correct the article, if the rules are not clear enogh for young children. Thanks a lot One exercise that can be utilized for learning English involving Math (simple addition and subtraction) is a measure lesson. Prepare a one-inch-rope and a piece of paper for each child. They can start with measuring the side of their tables. Let the children put the end of the rope on the edge of the table, and straighten the rope. Make a mark on the table at the other end of the rope and draw a line on the paper. Next put the end of the rope on the place that marked and straighten the rope again and make a mark on the table at the other end of the rope, draw another line on the paper. Repeat the steps till the rope overtops the table. Count the lines that are drawn on the paper, for example there are five lines. The child can say, “This table is about five inches long.” After the children have a good command of measuring with rope, they can measure the size of their feet, their arms and even their classmates’ height.
