Swimming Themed Number Counting Game Boards

By

This set of swimming themed number counting game boards is a fun way to work on number recognition and so much more. The set of game boards features number sequences that go from 1 to 10 and 1 to 20.

Children use these mats in several ways. Below I have listed the ways I have come up with. Feel free to use them any way you want to.

  • Move from square to square after placing a set of objects that matches that number in the box.
  • Have children draw arrows from the word start to the numbers in order until they get to the word end.
  • Roll a die or several dice and place a marker on each number they have rolled.
  • Have children color in the numbers in order.

Exploring the Puzzles

You can have your children work on these puzzles alone or with a partner. Either way, you will want to ensure they understand the number sequence they will be putting together. Here are some ways to help them idea the number sequence.

  • Lay out the puzzle pieces and have them identify the numbers on them.
  • Look at a version of the puzzle uncut to see if they see the pattern.
  • Lay out a few pieces and see if they can guess the pattern.
