How to make your worksheet

  1. Open the number words maker and pick which numbers you want, from one up to ten or further.
  2. Choose match, write or circle, or print one page of each for more practice.
  3. Print the page on your home printer so your child can use a pencil.
  4. Sit with your child and read each number word aloud together before they answer.

Using the sheet at home

Keep the sheet somewhere your child sees it often, like the fridge or a homework folder. Read the words together before your child starts, pointing at each letter in words like four and seven. Let your child trace the word first if writing it alone feels hard. Short, regular turns with the same ten words give your child more chances to see and say them.

Making it easier or harder

Start with the match activity if your child is just learning the words, since it needs no writing. Move to circling the word after counting pictures once matching feels comfortable. Writing the word from a word box is the biggest step, so save it for later. Numbers further apart, like one and ten, are easier to match than close numbers like six and seven.

What to try next

Once your child knows the words to ten, print the same maker with numbers up to twenty for a new challenge. Number word worksheets pair well with simple counting practice, like counting toys or steps. You can also look at our other free kindergarten worksheets for more letter and number practice at home.

Good questions

How to teach number words?

Teaching number words works best when you pair each word with its number and something to count, such as five blocks. Say the word aloud while your child points to the matching number on the page.

How to learn number words?

Learning number words happens through repeated practice, such as matching, writing and circling the same words on different days. It often helps when a child already knows how to count that many objects before seeing the word.
