They say what it is, then they do that number of jumps. All the rest of the children count and clap as they do it. Then repeat for other children. Have some number flashcards face down in the middle of the circle.
Pick one child to come into the middle of the circle to go first. After you sing the song, the child picks up a number and shows it to everyone. For example, it might be seven. This child then does seven slow jumps. Every time their feet hit the floor, the other children clap and count. The trick is to try to stop when you get to seven!
Repeat for different numbers. This is one of the games in my favorite 21 circle time games for preschool article.

This is a good number recognition game, and is good for more skilful children that know lots of numbers, as well as being possible for children who know much fewer numbers.
You simply pass number flashcards around the circle. A child holds the number, says what it is, and then passes it to the person next to them who repeats this process.
Have lots of numbers on the go at once. You could give them a toy to hold to focus them. You say the number when you are holding the toy, then pass it on.
