Write numbers on individual pieces of paper and encourage children to decorate them with different types of craft materials, including crayons, paint and glitter.
Write a series of numbers on a sheet of paper and have children glue an amount of objects on top of each number that corresponds to the number; two sequins on the numbers two and three cotton balls on the number three, for example.
Use songs and rhymes to foster recognition of numbers. Print the lyrics to songs and poems on chart paper and highlight the numbers. Recite the poems aloud, pointing to each number as you say it and holding up the correct amount of fingers. Examples of songs and rhymes to use include "No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed!" and "Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate."
Engage children in a hunt for numbers. Print numbers on index cards and hide them around the room. Send children off to look for the numbers and upon finding one, instruct them to gather at a meeting area. Work together to put the found numbers in sequential order.
Print numbers on the ground with sidewalk chalk or write large numbers on pieces of poster board and arrange them in order on the ground. Instruct children to jump on the numbers and say the name of each one aloud as they land on them.
Create a number matching game for prekindergarten children. Write a series of numbers on two sets of index cards. Place one set of cards upside down on a flat surface and spread the other set out on the ground, face-up. Have children take a card from the upside down pile and find the card with the matching number on the ground.
