💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used as a fun and engaging activity for Reception children learning to count to 10. It can be used as part of a whole-class activity, in small groups, or as an individual task. Before starting, ensure children are familiar with the numerals 1 to 10. Encourage them to count aloud as they work through each question. For differentiation, provide support by counting alongside children who are struggling, or by using concrete objects to help them visualise the numbers. For children who are confident, encourage them to create their own counting challenges for a partner. Common mistakes to watch out for include miscounting objects or confusing similar-looking numerals (e.g., 6 and 9). Extension activities could involve using number lines or playing counting games.
