Easter numbers pocket chart game where every Easter basket might be hiding an egg! This interactive hide and seek game keeps kids engaged, alert and eager to jump in. The Numbers Pocket Chart Game | Counting 0-120 | Number Hide and Seek | Easter gives preschool, pre-K, kindergarten and early elementary students a playful guessing game for number recognition, counting and number sequencing.

Kids are up close at the pocket chart, scanning the bright Easter basket number cards, calling out numbers and talking through their thinking with each turn. Every guess is another look at a number, so the practice adds up quickly in a way that feels fun, social and low pressure. You control the challenge, too. Start with just a handful of numbers for children focused on number recognition, then expand the chart for students working on counting, number order and larger numbers.

With this Easter numbers hide and seek game, you get

• Easter basket number cards for numbers 0-10 and 0-120 in color and black and white
• Easter egg cards to hide behind the baskets
• Differentiated recording pages for many number ranges
• A number range you choose, so the same game works for beginners and confident counters
• Repeated, playful practice saying and writing numbers

Print the cards and let the Easter egg hunt begin!

What's Included

• Quick-print Easter basket number cards for numbers 0-10
• Easter basket number cards for numbers 0-10 and 0-120 in full color
• Easter basket number cards for numbers 0-10 and 0-120 in black and white
• Easter egg hiding cards to place behind the numbers
• More than 30 differentiated recording pages for different number ranges
• Clear teacher directions for setting up and playing the game

All cards fit a standard pocket chart (a hanging chart with clear pockets), so the game is simple to prep, store and reuse. No pocket chart? The cards work just as well on a table or the floor.

Why Teachers Love It

• Kids stay invested: Everyone wants to know which basket is hiding an egg, so attention stays on the numbers.
• You control the difficulty: Show a handful of numbers from 0-10 or fill the chart with numbers up to 120, so one game fits mixed-ability groups.
• A routine kids learn fast: The steps stay the same every round, so children can focus on the numbers.
• Works in many settings: Use it for circle time, small groups, math centers or a morning routine without changing much.
• Built-in accountability: Recording pages add a number writing step without taking away the fun.
• Confidence for every learner: Children feel successful as they start identifying numbers on their own.

Skills Students Practice

Primary Academic Skills

• Number recognition: Students identify and name numbers as they scan the pocket chart and check each basket card.
• Counting: Students count as they guess and verify numbers.
• Number order and sequencing: Students see numbers in order across different number ranges.
• Visual discrimination: Children notice the differences between numbers that look alike, such as 12 and 21.
• Oral language: Students say each number aloud during their turn.
• Number writing: The recording pages ask students to cross off guessed numbers and write the correct ones.

Secondary Life & Learning Skills

• Taking turns
• Remembering previous guesses
• Making and checking predictions
• Waiting during group play
• Maintaining attention
• Building confidence during group participation

How to Use It

Step 1: Select the number range you want to practice, such as numbers 0-10 or numbers 0-120. Place the number cards into a pocket chart so all numbers are visible. Cards may also be arranged on a table or the floor.

Step 2: Have one student hide 1 to 5 Easter egg cards behind the Easter basket number cards.

Step 3: Students take turns guessing which numbers are hiding eggs, saying the number aloud with each guess. Reveal the card to check if an Easter egg is hidden. Use the recording pages to cross off guessed numbers and write the correct numbers when eggs are found.

Easy Differentiation

Children build number skills at very different rates. Because you choose the numbers and how many to show, this game fits every learner.

For Children Who Need More Support

• Display just 3 to 5 numbers from 0-10 and hide 1 egg
• Count the numbers together before hiding the eggs
• Point to each number as children say it
• Use the color basket cards for extra visual support

For On-Level Practice

• Display a longer row of numbers (such as 0-20) and hide 2 or 3 eggs
• Use the recording pages to cross off guesses and write correct numbers
• Ask "What number comes next?" as you check each card
• Play with a partner or small group as a math center

For an Extra Challenge

• Fill the chart with higher numbers up to 120 and hide up to 5 eggs
• Show numbers that look alike next to each other, such as 13 and 31
• Have the hider give clues such as "It is one more than 45"
• Let a child lead the game and check each guess

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support

• Choose specific target numbers for each child's goals
• Use a short language frame such as "Is it behind number ___?"
• Have children point to a number to guess when naming is still emerging
• Use the black and white basket cards to reduce visual clutter
• Give extra processing time before each guess

Perfect For

• Math centers for independent or partner practice
• Small group instruction
• Whole-group circle time
• Morning sign-in routines
• Spring and Easter math units
• Homeschool math
• Speech therapy and intervention
• Early finishers
• Rainy day learning
