WAYS TO PLAY

This set of 1-20 number cards and recording sheets

can be used in a variety of ways in preschool and
kindergarten to practice number recognition and
writing numbers..

Quick Tip: Print on colored paper or card stock to

make cards easier to find.

GET MOVING

If you’d like to get kids up and moving, try using

these as a color, trace or write the room type
activity (see differentiation tips on page 3 to help
those not ready to write yet).

Place the number cards throughout the room. When

kids spot a number around the room dot, color, or
trace the number on the recording sheet.

 WAYS TO PLAY
(CONTINUED)
STAY IN ONE SPACE

If you prefer kids to stay in one location during this

activity try these ideas:

• Sensory Bins: Add the number cards to a sensory

bin of your choice. Have kids remove a card and
then mark the number on their recording sheet.

• Surprise Bags: Use a gift bag or small drawstring

bag. Place the number cards inside. Have kids
draw a number out of the bag and then mark it
on the recording sheet.

QUICK TIP: Laminate the recording sheets and use

dry erase markers, mini erasers, or see-through
dots to save paper and printing costs.

 DIFFERENTIATE
Choose whether kids will use the 1-10 and 11-20 recording
sheets and cards. You can use both sets in the same class
by using different colors for the cards. Kids can find only
cards of the color that they are focusing on.

You can also differentiate by fine motor skill for those

kids who are able to recognize numbers but still working
on the fine motor control for writing.

• Dot it—When kids spot a number use dot markers to

spot the number on the recording sheet. This will be
the easiest for kids still working on the fine motor
control needed to do the writing.
• Color it-Kids who are ready to do some
writing/drawing can color the boxes on the recording
sheet as they find the number around the room.
• Trace it-Kids who are beginning to write numbers can
trace the numbers on the gray version of the
recording sheet.

 EXTEND
If you are doing this at home, with a small group, or
as a center activity and you don’t mind letting kids
collect the cards they find, then you can add in even
more fun and learning b letting kids gather the cards
as they find them so they can use them for these
additional activities:
• Place the number cards in number order
• Count out the corresponding number of
math manipulatives to go with each number
card

QUICK TIP: If there are multiple groups that will be

doing the activity, have the first group hide the
numbers around the room for the next group to find.
This will save YOU time, and kids LOVE hiding them
for friends…just be sure to set some general
guidelines on exactly how “tricky” they can be with
their hiding spots. ;)
