About this resource

If you want to give students extra practice with counting, I have just the resource for you.

What You Get:

This is a Counting Sounds Worksheet that is ideal for lower primary students who are mastering the skill of counting. This could be for Year 1 students, but Nursery learners can also benefit from this.  

How To Implement This Resource:

You can print off enough copies of this worksheet for each student to have. You may also choose to print only a few copies and laminate those. If you choose to laminate them, students can use dry-wipe markers to write answers. This is a great way to turn this into a maths centre or small group activity.

This is an open-ended worksheet that can be utilised as often as necessary. It is a 1-page printable that consists of a chart with 2 columns. Students will listen to sounds, count how many they hear, and record the number on the table. They will listen for sounds such as claps, knocks on window, and mouse clicks. There are 12 sounds for students to count.

You can:

-- Make these sounds for the whole group to listen to at once

-- Find these sounds on YouTube to play for students

-- Make this an interactive activity by selecting students to demonstrate the sounds for the whole group

-- Have students work in partners or small groups and show them how they can take turns making the sounds

I hope you enjoy!
