How to try it

Stand together on a middle step and ask, \"Which step are we on?\" Say the number, then climb one step at a time and ask again. On the way down, hold hands and count backward without touching the steps.

Safety note

Why it matters

Naming the step you are standing on connects a number to a place, and counting backward shows numbers can run both ways.
