I'm all for being active and practical about learning.
If a pupil has problems with counting, then get them actively doing something about it. From marching/banging on every beat or whatever, you can move on to "Now if I count, can you hit the "3" with me? or whatever it might be.
Coupled with this, it is an acknowledged pedagogical fact that different people have different styles of learning. For some, sitting and listening may work but for others, a more movement-based (kinaesthetic) approach provides better results. This applies to learning any subject, music, maths, or any discipline.
I remember many years ago watching Yehudi Menuhin coaching a string quartet at his school (who by definition were already accomplished musicians) and he got the violins and viola processing around the room as they played.
