Number Sequence Game
Separate out numbers 0-9 in a certain color. Have the child our the numbers in the correct ascending order.
Memory Game
Separate the number cards from the UNO deck. Find 8 or more sets of cards that match in color and number. Take those cards and mix them up. Place them all face down on the table. The child will turn over one card of their choice and then another trying to match the color and number on the card. If they do not match, turn them both back facedown. And try again. Keep going until all the cards have been matched.
Addition Game
Separate out the number cards from the deck. Make two different piles of cards, one with numbers 5 and below, and the second pile can include all numbers 0-9. The pile of numbers 5 and below will be your cards for the “problem” and the pile that includes larger cards, will be the answer pile. Grab a small piece of paper or a post it note and a pen. Make an addition sign on one and an equal sign on the other. Have the child flip a card from the “problem” pile and place it down. Next place the addition sign and then choose another card from the “problem” pile and then place down the equal sign. Have the child figure out the addition problem and choose the correct answer from the answer pile of cards.
Subtraction Game
Separate out the number cards from the deck. Make two different piles of cards, one with numbers 9 and below, and the second pile can include all numbers 0-9. The pile of numbers 9 and below will be your cards for the “problem” that will be face down and the other will be the answer pile. Grab a small piece of paper or a post it note and a pen. Make a subtraction sign on one and an equal sign on the other. Have the child flip a card from the “problem” pile and place it down. Next place the subtraction sign and then choose another card from the “problem” pile and then place down the equal sign. Have the child figure out the subtraction problem and choose the correct answer from the answer pile of cards. On this game, you may have to guide the child for the first couple of problem, showing them that the highest number needs to be on the left, or at least that the second card they flip over will have to be smaller than the first in order for the game to work. If they don’t draw one that is smaller, have them just draw again.
