Halloween Number Matching Activity: Number Words, Numerals, and Candy Corn Quantities

Teaching numbers becomes much more meaningful when children can see, read, and count them in different ways. This fun Halloween-themed matching activity helps young learners connect number words, numerals, and quantities while developing important early math skills.

In this hands-on game, students match three different cards:

🎃 A numeral card (1–10)
🍬 A candy corn quantity card
📝 A number word card

Children carefully count the candy corn pieces in each jar, find the matching numeral, and then connect it to the correct number word. By using visual, symbolic, and written representations of numbers, students strengthen number recognition and build a deeper understanding of number concepts.


And do you need more games? Maybe for the Halloween party. Just print the game board, it comes in two different sizes.
