St David's Day Math Activity, Counting Daffodils

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.’
