Develop number sense easily while playing a rhyming game to help students develop math and rhyming skills. Yes, math skills cancan happen with most games that you play with children.
Check out how to develop math number sense with a rhyming game plus a few other games.
First, play rhyming memory! You can check out a few RHYMING VIDEOS HERE that I love to use before we begin to play or for brain breaks!
When the game is over, lay out the cards of each learner into an array. It’s important that the kiddos can see that each card must match with a card.
Count the cards. You are checking one to one math skills by having the students count.
Then talk about which is more and which is less. By laying the cards out in an array, students can easily see which set has the most and least.
If you really want to challenge the kiddos math skills, ask them to tell how many more or less each group has. That’s a difficult math skill for many students.

It’s a popcorn race game. You hold up a popcorn card and which ever student says the letter name and sound first gets the card. When time is up we count our cards and compare again!
Check out how these advanced math thinkers, discuss how many more or less…yes, they used their arms to explain!
They can visually see the number sense. It was so exciting to hear them exclaim that there were 5 in the 3rd and 4th rows before we even counted because they were remembering the number and could see it visually.
