Kindergarten Activity No 26

Numeracy pattern activities with blocks

While these two numeracy activities are aimed for Kindergarten children, your child might find the second activity more challenging than the first one.

 

Activity 1 – Follow the pattern

This activity involves following a coloured pattern using blocks.  It is aimed at helping children develop eye/hand co-ordination and reinforce colour coding and colour recognition. The children will also learn how to follow patterns.

For this activity you need:

• coloured markers
• coloured blocks
• an A4 paper

 

With the coloured markers, draw the outline, of the blocks, on a white A4 paper.

Make 3 rows (as seen in the picture).

Ask your child to take the blocks and follow the patterns on the paper.

Activity 2 – Ordering and sequencing numbers

This activity is aimed at developing number recognition and number sequence.

For this activity we need:

• a whiteboard marker
• blocks

Number the blocks with a whiteboard marker from 1 till 10 . Encourage your child to stack the blocks starting from 1 till 10.

You can make the activity more challenging by gradually adding more blocks with numbers greater than 10 (e.g. from 1 to 20).
