Build a number line

Start with building the skill by understanding how the numbers grow or shrink. Use magnets or counters above the numbers.

Draw a number line GAME

Go outside and use chalk to draw a number line to 20 (you can also use a big roll of paper and do it at home). Use 2 dice, one with numbers and second with + and -. Roll a die to see from which number you should start, then roll a second die to see if you need to go one more or one less. The person that gets to number 20 first, wins.

Fun with Duplo

We joined it with building simple patterns. Use duplo people to climb the stairs and count along. Next, walk them downstairs and count back.

Bus Stop Game
