This counting activity is a fun, interactive and engaging way for your students to work on their number recognition and counting skills during the run up to St David’s Day or Spring. Students follow the instructions on the page to put the daffodils into the field of grass.
There are printable daffodils included - or you can use real daffodils to add some extra sensory fun to your learning.
Two boards are included (daffodil and daffodil’s). Numbers go from 0-10. On the top of the board there is a blank box. This is where you change out the numbers (included) for students to follow. The instructions come with visual, symbol prompts to support your learners.
For example;
“Put 5/five daffodils in the grass” - and then the student has to put 5 daffodils onto the grass.
This activity is also a great way for students to work on their fine motor skills, picking up daffodils - printed or real.
I recommend laminating all of the pieces included. This will make them stronger, longer lasting and reusable in the future.
Instructions
Print out the base boards and laminate them (two boards)
Print, cut and laminate the individual number cards (0-10) and daffodils.
Put the number cards onto the board to complete the instruction for students to follow i.e ‘Put 6 daffodils in the grass.’

★ Me and my friends are talking about what we love about our dads. I love it when my dad carries me on his shoulders, Dave loves when his dad cooks a bbq. Alicia loves when she can just spend time with her dad, and Alice loves watching her dad rock her baby sister to sleep.
★ Today I’m at a pool party. When I arrive, I run straight for the water slide, and slide all the way down! I can see Dave holding some water bombs, then he throws a green one at me, splashing all over me. I hurry and pick up a red water bomb to throw back.
★ Me and my grandma have been making a summer to do list. First, we are going to go camping. Then, we are going to drive all the way down to the beach so I can go surfing! Then, finally, we are going to go to a hotel and relax in the sun.
★ My teacher asked me to name 4 things that remind me of Summer. I said the ocean is 1st, because we always go to the beach in the Summer. Then, a crab, because we try to find them at the beach. Then, there’s ice cream - the best cold treat! And, finally, of course, the sun!
★ It’s the first day of Summer, so dad is cooking us a bbq. First, I have to put the table cloth on our table, then dad starts to put food on the bbq to cook. I put on a special apron and hat so that I can be dad’s assistant chef. Finally, once the food is all cooked, I get to eat a cheeseburger!
★ We’re going to the beach today! Mom says I have to look for the beach sign, then we know we have arrived! When we arrive, I look up to see the sun shining, it’s very bright and hot! Mom puts an umbrella in the sand so we have some shade. Then, she helps to bury me under all the sand!
