About this activity
What your child practises
Skills: Counting to 20.
Counting objects one by one, matching quantities to numbers and recognising numerals.
What’s included
- 8 questions
- An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own

Age and school year
Made for ages 3–7. That’s Pre-K – Grade 2 in the US, Nursery – Year 3 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 2 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 2 in India.
How to use it
- Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
- Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
- Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
- Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Count real things first – spoons, socks, toy cars – then move to the pictures, so numbers stay meaningful.
- Ask “How do you know?” about one answer. Explaining a method builds understanding faster than speed.
- Sit beside your child and read the instructions aloud; at this age the time together matters as much as the page.
