To demonstrate the number 100 - pour out a pile of beans, coins, or chocolate chips. Count out ten groups of ten. When all of the groups are created, count each group by tens to 100. To make the activity personal, have the child count out an additional four beans (or the amount of beans to represent the child's age) as well as beans representing the ages of parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. On a piece of paper, have the child write his name and the number of beans to represent his age as well as other relatives. Then write "Abraham 100" to represent the 100 beans.
