 Christmas Numbers 1 to 10 Flashcards. Use the Santa Flashcards for engagement and motivation. This is a very appealing Holiday for the little ones. Boost student’s participation with this simple activity.

Dictate a number and have the students write on a white board or paper. Then, show the flashcard and have them self- check.

Christmas Numbers Small Cards

Use the small cards for Number recognition. 

Show the cards on at a time and have the students identify each one: What number is this?

Students: three!

Let’s practice counting. Use fun foam pieces or any other Christmas objects that you have. Ask students to count the corresponding number of fun foam pieces, as mine, for each Santa number card.


Christmas Number Worksheets

 Use the worksheets for assessment and documentation.Use the worksheets to show the student’s progress to their parents or to complete their portfolio.

 Check student’s progress as you dictate the color of each number that a Santa is holding: Find number seven! Color it purple.

 More number correspondence to use the worksheet. Match the candy strips to the corresponding Santa with a number.


Christmas Numbers and Games

File folder games are a fun hand-on learning experience for your students. Students will manipulate the ornaments to match to the number that each Santa has. Glue the Santa Numbers cards onto a file folder and start playing.

Use the Santa numbers cards to make a correspondence with the ornaments.
