• What about telephone numbers, reversing the sequence of numbers, have you ever done that.

In reading, young students reverse b and d, p and q, and other letters.   Plus they might read saw as was.  The examples, can be endless.

• Ask your students to tell you about the way two different items are the same and different.  Such as two apples can be round, have spots, but one might be red and the other green.
• On the playground ask them to count how many students have a certain color shirt or coat.  When they come in from outside they have to tell you the number before getting a drink. 
• After lunch, ask the students what the sequence of food was in the  serving line.

• Provide centers in which students have to find a character, like in the Waldo books.  
•  There are plenty of Look and Find books in stores and in the library.
