Teach your child how to count and recognise the written numbers. Play games such as “Snap” or “Pairs” to help a child recognise the numbers. If you are using cash or give a child a coin to buy a treat when out shopping, you can establish the link between the value of a coin and it’s number value.
Introduce your children to their age, their house number, how many people there are in their family. Numbers are fun facts which increase the depth of a child’s relationship with the world. By talking about “how many” things they see around them, the concept of counting becomes a familiar and fun activity,

Two Fun Number Games To Play With Children
Children grasp concepts in different ways. Nursery rhymes and simple finger and toe games are a great way to introduce counting to young children.
Playing games such as shopkeeper or Post Office take numbers from an abstract concept to the use of money to buy shopping. I know I am remembering the games played by my children when they were young and we were not living in the current cashless society. I’m sure most pre-school children have been given a coin to buy a comic or a treat whilst shopping even in the 21st century world.
Snap
One idea for play-time games would be “snap”. Order two sets of Collins Number Flashcards and make up a deck of cards using numbers or numbers and symbols. Deal the cards out between the children and then each player turns over their card as they add it to the pile in the middle. When they add a card matching the previous one, they should shout “Snap” in order to win the cards in the pile. Young children don’t need to play the full game of who can win all the cards; just make a time limit and then work out who has the most cards to declare the winner.
Another game for recognition and memory is “pairs”.
You lay out the cards, face down, from both packs along the floor or table. Each child takes their turn at turning over two cards. If they find a match, the child has won that pair of cards. This game requires children to remember the position of cards that have been turned over previously, but didn’t make a pair so have been replaced face down on the table. Again, you may need to set a timer or a certain number of pairs to limit the length of the game at first.
