How to Play the Number Hide and; Seek Game:
Place your chosen number cards into a pocket chart facing out, so that the students can read the numbers. Alternatively, you can place them on a table or floor if you do not have a pocket chart.

You may choose to put them in numerical order or mix them up for a challenge. If you are just beginning on number recognition, you may want to use the numbers 1-5 and corresponding recording sheet to start and increase the number of cards as skill levels progress.

Have the students (or one student if working in pairs) close their eyes while one person hides 1-8 paint brush cards behind the paint cans.

Students then take turns guessing which number the paint brush cards are hiding behind.

Using the Optional Recording Pages: 
The students cross of the numbers in the box as they are guessed. Then, they write the correct guesses in the boxes at the bottom of the page.

There is also a set without pre-written numbers to allow you to select which numbers to use and to provide a challenge for your students as they progress throughout the year.
