Chicken farm numbers pocket chart game that sends kids hunting for eggs hidden behind chicken coop number cards! This interactive hide and seek activity keeps preschool, pre-K, kindergarten and early elementary learners curious, focused and excited to practice numbers.

Children scan the pocket chart, call out guesses and wait eagerly to see what is hiding behind each coop. The same game covers numbers 0-10 all the way through 0-120, so you can start with just a few numbers for children who are still building confidence or fill the chart with larger number sets for students who are ready for more of a challenge. Along the way they strengthen number recognition, counting confidence and number sequencing in a playful, low-pressure way.

With this chicken farm numbers hide and seek game, you get

• Number cards for 0-10 and 0-120 in color and black and white
• Egg hiding cards to place behind the number cards
• Differentiated recording pages for multiple number ranges
• A number range you choose, from 0-10 all the way to 120
• A farm theme that makes every guess feel like an egg hunt

Print, fill the pocket chart and let the egg hunt begin.

What's Included

Everything in this farm-themed math activity is designed to keep prep simple:

• Number cards for numbers 0-10 and 0-120 (color)
• Number cards for numbers 0-10 and 0-120 (black and white)
• Egg hiding cards to place behind the number cards
• Differentiated recording pages for multiple number ranges
• Clear teacher directions with setup and play tips

All of the cards fit in a standard classroom pocket chart (a hanging chart with clear pockets), so this is an easy print and go game you can reuse again and again. No pocket chart? The cards also work great laid out on a table or the floor.

Why Teachers Love It

• High engagement: The guessing is what hooks children. Everyone wants to find the eggs, so attention stays on the numbers.
• Easy to adjust: Start with a few numbers or fill the chart with larger number sets as children grow.
• One game, many levels: Use 0-10 with your newest learners and numbers up to 120 with confident counters.
• A routine kids learn fast: The steps stay the same every round, so children can focus on the numbers.
• Built-in writing practice: The recording pages add number writing to the game.
• Low prep and reusable: Print the cards once and use them all year.

Skills Students Practice

Primary Academic Skills

• Number recognition: Children recognize numbers as they scan the pocket chart and guess.
• Counting: Children count as they guess and confirm each card.
• Number order: Reading the chart in order builds number sequencing skills.
• Visual discrimination: Children tell similar-looking numbers apart, such as 16 and 61.
• Naming numbers aloud: Each turn gives children a reason to say a number out loud.
• Number writing: The recording pages give extra practice writing numbers.

Secondary Life & Learning Skills

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

How to Use It

Step 1: Choose how many numbers to use. Start small for beginners and add more numbers as confidence grows. Place the number cards into a pocket chart so all numbers are visible. Cards can also be laid out on a table or floor.

Step 2: Have one child hide 1-5 egg cards behind the number cards while the others close their eyes.

Step 3: Children take turns guessing which numbers are hiding eggs, saying each number out loud as they guess. Peek behind the number card to check if an egg is hiding there. 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 control how many numbers are used, this same activity grows with your students all year long.

For Children Who Need More Support

• Display just a few 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 cards for extra visual support

For On-Level Practice

• Use the 0-20 range and hide a few eggs
• Use the recording pages to record each guess
• Ask "What number comes before? What comes after?" as you check each card
• Play with a partner or small group as a math center

For an Extra Challenge

• Fill the chart with numbers up to 120 and hide up to 5 eggs
• Show numbers that look alike next to each other, such as 17 and 71
• Have the hider give clues such as "It is ten more than 40"
• 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 ___?"
• Build fine motor skills by flipping cards and writing on the recording pages
• Use the black and white cards to reduce visual clutter
• Give extra processing time before each guess
