Using a tunnel in the school play yard or classroom would be a good substitute for the log, but not nearly as fun or memorable for the children.

Till I thought about it as understanding how to line up numbers for addition, multiplication division etc. Always liked math but never thought about understanding those terms as a building block for math skills.

Although, we don’t have a wooded area nearby I will give it a try on our playground and maybe when we walk to the park.
