Easter Puzzles – Number Recognition Activity

Use these Easter puzzles as a way for your students to demonstrate their instant recognition of numbers 1-20 in numeral and word forms. Here are some other fun ways to use this resource.

👀 Scavenger Hunt

Hide the puzzle pieces around the room when your students are not in, and put the picture board in the center. Then set your students loose! As soon as they find a piece, they bring it up to the picture board, read the number on their piece, and put it on the matching quantity. NOTE: You may want to make a rule of only one student at a card at one time. If not, things could get a little crazy! 

✏️ Write It Out

To use this activity as a formative assessment, project the picture board and have each student pick three squares. Students will write their quantities in both number and word form.

👯‍♀️ Puzzle Teamwork

In your small group, divide the puzzle pieces among students. Then, point to a quantity on the board and count it as a group. The student with the matching number lays it down on the puzzle.
