Number Games Based on Little Blue Truck Books

This week the Virtual Book Club is sharing the book Little Blue Truck. During the week I will be sharing a number recognition game, a STEM activity and a reading game all based on the Little Blue Truck books

Little Blue Truck Game Supplies

Today will be looking at the number recognition game. The game is played on a Little Blue Truck Math Workmat I created.  Your children will have fun selecting a number and then counting out objects that represent that number.

Your children can use any of the following to select a number:

• Dice
• Number Cards
• Foam Number in Bag

Then they can use any of the following to represent the selected number:

• Pom Poms
• Safari Ltd Farm TOOB
• Brown Buttons That Look Like Mud Puddles

How to Use the Little Blue Truck Math Mat

• Your children will first select the number they will be exploring. They can select a number card or foam representation.  They might even roll a die.
• Then they will put that number in the window on the left-hand side of the truck.
• Next, they will count out manipulatives that match that number.
• Finally, they will place them in the window on the right-hand side of the truck.
• You can have them repeat this process as many times as you like.
