- Color one number per day on the 100's Chart

- Continue to work on memorizing the child’s full name, parents’ names & address

- Practice counting from 21 to 30. Use flashcards and have child put them in order. Each day choose a “Number of the Day” between 21 and 30. Use these worksheets to practice tracing each number, or have them write the number of the day on the chalkboard. Count the “Twenty Family” (21-30) each day, then count from 1-30.

Day 1

Review: Give the child a cup of pennies and some small number flashcards. Place the flashcards out on the table face up in random order. Have the child put the correct number of pennies on each flashcard.

Print a set of customizable picture Dominoes on cardstock to practice matching and learn the concept of the game. Allow the child to match the Dominoes in a train by himself, or play together by giving each player 7 Dominoes and taking turns.

Practice counting to 25 with this Mouse Number Maze Worksheet.

Day 2

Introduce Dominoes (a set that goes up to Double 6’s is fine). Play a simple matching game, lining up the Dominoes end to end with matching numbers.

Play the Domino Parking Lot game.

Print this Clothespin Number Match #11-20 on cardstock or mount on thin cardboard. Use clothespins with numbers 11-20 written on them. Have the child match the clothespin to the correct number of dots on the wheel.

Choose a Worksheet from the “Matching Equal Groups” section.

Day 3

Learn and practice how to roll a die with this Counting and Block Building game.

Now that you’re on a roll with the dice, play the Dice BINGO Game.

Cut these Number Dot Cards in half. Have the child match the number to its correct number of dots. Practice this several times until the child can do it quickly without having to count the dots every time. Or, play it like a Memory Match game, flipping all of them upside down and turning over two cards at a time to make matches.

Practice counting with a fun Dot-to-Dot worksheet, if your child is proficient at drawing lines.

Day 4

Play the Monster Dice Match Game.
