Number Game

Ages: 2 - 5
Need deck of cards

Remove 10 cards from the deck - one of each: Ace, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten.

Tell your child the ace is one.

Shuffle the ten cards, then put them in a face down pile by your child on the table or floor.

Have him pick one card at a time and then put them in numerical order 1 to 10.

You can help your child if he can't figure a sequence out.

Once the cards are in order, mix them up again and this time play backwards, 10 to 1.

Then pull another set of cards numbered 1 through 10 out of the pile.

Mix them up, turn them over so they are face up and have your child pick pairs of each card from 1 to 10.

Then go back and get 3 cards of the same number and have him repeat this.

Once he does this, you can use all 4 cards with the same number on and have him match all of these up.

You can also use the smaller numbers as math problems. Give him two "one" cards and ask him how many that is.

Then give him two "two" cards and ask what two plus two is. You can go up as high as your child is able to count.
