Number Activities for Kindergarten Children

1. Number Activities for Kindergarten Children Due to the abstract nature of numbers, learning them can be a difficult task for many children. However, teachers can lessen this difficulty by teaching them number games and rhymes. By involving children in these activities, math’s, counting, and numbers become tremendously approachable. Toddlers especially like to sing along, and putting valuable information in lyrical form lets them have fun while learning, making the purpose behind the education more fruitful. Below are some examples of number games that help children get better at the activity without intimidating them. Number Train First and foremost, kids love trains. They are fascinated by them - in large part due to popular shows like Thomas the Tank Engine. Leveraging that fondness, we use blocks, straws and tape - or anything that children can stack in a line to take a train. Due to the relatively intricate nature of the activity, this works better if a group of children are doing it. For this activity, you will require differently colored blocks or straws of different shapes, a ruler scale, tape and plenty of space to do the activity. This activity aims to horizontally stack as many blocks or straws as possible on the ground to make a train. Demonstrating the activity helps children ground the abstract nature of it. Please encourage them to participate. Ask them to choose a small number - under 10. Stack the blocks or straws per the number they chose. Provide each child with a set of blocks or straws, or make teams if there aren't enough items available.

2. Make each child or team stack the blocks or straws per the number you give them. You can repeat this as many times as necessary or until the children lose interest in the activity. This activity helps children develop their number sense and counting ability. Number Tracing All the children need to do in this activity is recreate a number on paper. The best way of doing this is by tracing them. The requirements for this activity are just papers, charts, markers and pencils. As the teacher on the chart paper, write all the numbers to be traced by the children in a relatively big font. Ensure there is adequate space between the two numbers so the child does not mistakenly overlap the tracing. This activity helps children learn how to write numbers and recognize them accurately. Painting Numbers This activity is a great way to get the child's artistic and numerical talents on display by identifying numbers on a sheet correctly and coloring them in appropriate in order o get the picture right. For this activity you will require a painting-by-numbers template and paints, crayons or color pencils in order to fill the templates in. Two computer prints of the easy model templates are better - especially if they have fewer but larger sections that the child can color in easily. Do the activity with the child, walk the little one through it. Show him by coloring on of the items in the template. Afterwards, ask the young learner to choose the next number and color it in with the assigned corresponding cooler. Have them color the template completely. Through this activity children learn number recognition, correspondence and coloring skills.
