❤️ Subitising For Number Recognition

Print the subitising game board and die on cardboard and use it in the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day!

Students play the game in pairs. Each student gets a Cover Up! game board and a set of counters to play with. Students take turns rolling the heart die, saying the number rolled and covering one of the matching numbers on their game board. The student to cover all of their numbers first wins!

Valentines Day subitizing activity

By completing this activity, students demonstrate an ability to subitise numbers 1-6.  

Scaffolding + Extension Tips 

In addition to individual student work time, use this number recognition game as a:

  • Small Group activity
  • Maths Warm-up activity 
  • Brain Break
  • Fast Finisher activity

Students who need a challenge can play each other using the same game board. The first student to call out the number gets to cover a matching number with their manipulative. The student who covers the most hearts at the end of the game wins! 

To Prepare This Resource

This activity is available as an easy-to-print PDF. Simply click the arrow on the “download” button to print and go! 

Provide students with manipulatives or bingo tokens to keep track of their progress. Or slip game boards into dry-erase sleeves for students to colour their matching products with dry-erase markers, then erase and reuse.
