This St. Patrick’s Day rainbow numbers pocket chart game turns everyday number recognition and counting practice into a lively numbers hide and seek game that keeps kids focused, curious, and fully engaged from start to finish.

Every round of this numbers hide and seek pocket chart game invites kids to scan the pocket chart, think through their guesses, say numbers aloud, and stay invested because they genuinely want to find the gold.
As the game continues, students naturally get repeated exposure to number recognition, meaningful counting practice, and number sequencing, all wrapped inside a playful St. Patrick’s Day theme that keeps participation high and frustration low.
Designed for preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, and early elementary learners, this numbers pocket chart game adds structure to math time while still feeling like a game kids ask to play again.

This package of time is perfect for all ages. There are so many ways shown on how you can teach this. You can even play a matching game to use as
exposure for little ones who are first time learners.
I teach at a full day preschool program. I am always looking for activities that will hold the student's interest as well as help with fine motor. These activities are placed out first thing in the morning as students are filing in. Everyone quickly unpacks so that they can participate.
I am using these with my 4 year old grandson. I printed them and laminated them. This is a great hands on way to learn both the upper case and lower case letters.
I have a number of these games and they are always a hit. I have my students use tongs to pick up small erasers and cover the pictures so they can work on fine motor skills.
I asked for it and received it better than imagined! Loved the boards and the size of the cards to show a small group! Such great graphics and detail, perfect for recycling study!
