This worksheet invites students to draw lines to connect each numeral to its matching number word. For example, they match 12 to twelve, and 7 to seven.  It reinforces sight reading of number words.

This Bingo worksheet features four small Bingo grids, perfect for playing in pairs or small groups. Each student writes five random numbers (1–20) in each grid. The teacher or a student calls out number words, and players mark their spaces as they listen.

In this interactive worksheet, students listen to the teacher read short sentences:

“The black snake is eating number twelve.”
Then they find the correct snake and color it according to the description.

The matching mats are great for independent work, centers, or partner games.

Make a number sequence with any cards from the mats.

This game board features a colorful path of snakes, each showing a number from 1 to 20. Students roll a die and move along the path, landing on different snake numbers as they go.
