About this resource

Students will have fun counting up to 10 and practising fine motor skills with these fire safety themed counting clip cards. These cards allow students to get ample practice counting to 10 with the colourful and fun images centred around firefighter. Students will want to complete these cards again and again.

What is Included:

There is one fire station themed clip card for each number 0 through 10. Each clip card includes colourful and bright images to keep students engaged in counting.

How to Use:

Students will take a clip card. They will count the number of objects and then place a clip or other manipulative on the current number of objects counted.

When to Use:

  • Maths Centre - These clip cards can be used in a maths centre by simply placing the cards and clips inside each centre. Students can work independently or with a partner to complete these cards.

  • Morning Activity - These cards can be placed inside a morning tub or basket for students to work on as classmates arrive to class.

  • Quiet Activity - These clip cards make a great quiet time activity for students who do not nap.

  • Small Group Activity - Teachers can pull aside small groups of students to practise working on counting.

These clip cards are a low prep activity for teachers to prepare for students. They just need to be printed and cut apart before students can use them. These cards can be stored inside a task box which allows for easy set up, clean up, and storage.

The added fine motor component makes these a perfect activity for students to work on their counting skills as well as improving their hand strength by squeezing the clips used to mark each answer.
