Weighing

Source: Games Without Music For Children
Category: GAMES FOR THE SCHOOLROOM





Scales and weights are required for this game.

Before commencing let the children see the different weights, and hold
them one after the other in their hands.

The following rhymes may assist the scholars to remember the various
weights:

1. First comes the [1]ounce weight, small and round,
Sixteen of these do make a [2]pound.

2. Four ounces [3]quarter-pound will be;
[4]Half-pound has eight ounces, you see.


The four weights given above will be sufficient at first for little
children, but more may be added as they become familiar with these. When
the scholars have learnt to distinguish the pound, ounce, &c., they may
come out in turn and weigh various objects.

It would be well to explain that solid objects occupy less room than
lighter substances--that a pound of feathers, e.g., would take up a
large space, while a pound of lead would go into a very small compass.

[1] Show ounce weight.

[2] Show pound weight.

[3] Show the quarter-pound.

[4] Show half-pound.


GUESSING GAME.--When the object to be weighed has been chosen, a number
of children are allowed to come out and hold it in turn, and say what
they think is its weight. As the object is handed to the first child,
the teacher says:

Can you tell the weight of this?
Mind you do not guess amiss.

Each child takes the object in its hand and guesses. The article is then
weighed, and the child who has guessed most nearly its correct weight is
allowed to choose the next object for weighing, and to call out the
children who are to guess. He hands it to the first child, repeating the
words of the rhyme.
