🏁 Start Your Engines! Practice Counting Objects With Our Parking Lot Game
On your mark, get set, go! Students will have a blast with this counting objects parking lot game. This resource was developed for students to strengthen their number recognition and counting skills. Students will practice counting groups of 1–10 items.
To play, students will pick a car, identify the number, find the same number of objects on the game board, and move the car into the parking spot. Students will take turns until all of the parking spots are full.
Through this activity, students will show they can match numerals with a group of items showing the same number.
