Zoo Number Cards

These zoo themed number cards are perfect for students who are learning with an animal theme. They make the perfect tool for students to learn the letters of the number.

What is Included:

This set includes one number card and one number word card for all numbers up to 20.

Ways to Use the Cards:

• Play a matching game by matching the numbers to their number words.

• Attach a paper clip to a number card and use a magnetic fishing rod to "catch" the numbers for a fun fishing game.

• Use a sand or salt tray for students to practise writing the numbers or number words on each card.

• Have students find the numbers that you have hidden around the room for a fun number hunt.

• Place the number cards in numerical order.

• Create a pocket chart game where you place the cards on a pocket chart and hide a picture behind one of the numbers. The students will guess which number the hidden picture is behind.

• Add objects so students can count to the number on the card.
