I've been using "Dip An Egg" (from Music K-8, Vol. 10, No. 4) and "Speckled Eggs" (from Music K-8, Vol. 12, No. 4) - haven't done the sheet yet but have gotten some powerful mileage out of having ten kids stand across the front of the room, changing position every time they hear their number. Down the first time, Up the next time, Down the next time, Up, and so forth. It's a fanTAStic concentration device.
And just yesterday, the First Grade class I was doing it with started demanding "Hard-Boiled Egg" (from Music K-8, Vol. 9, No. 4), which I had forgotten - so that will come out this next week. I have a variety of plastic eggs to use. Never CAN find any red ones - just pink.
