We are deep in the throes of winter, and we're starting to look forward to Valentine's Day. If you're looking forward to Valentine's Day with your tots and preschoolers, I've got a great activity for you to add to your math center.

Valentine's Day Numbers Game

This no-prep activity is perfect for your homeschool preschool activities. All you need to do is print the pages out. Then, your preschoolers are ready for some Valentine's Day math fun.

How to Use the Pages

I suggest printing the pages on cardstock and laminating for durability. There are six different number boards to choose from. If you have children at various learning levels, they can play the game together using different number boards. Or, you can have your child progress through each board as they become more comfortable with numbers and counting from one to six. Have students roll a die and count the dots. Then, using a counter (mini erasers, buttons, Valentine's Day conversation hearts), identify the correct number on the game board.

What's Included

The Valentine's Day number game boards vary in difficulty and skill. On the six game boards, you'll find the following:

• standard numerals
• colorful number clipart
• dot patterns
• counting fingers
• tally marks
• ten frames

Choose the one that best fits your child's needs, and have fun! This can be played independently or in pairs. If a pair of kids is playing, the first child to cover four squares in a row is the winner.
