Counting Games 1-20 for Ages 3-5: 60 Number Cards, Bingo, Dice and Board Games - Preschool Math Printable PDF

Counting is a game here, not a worksheet. This printable pack gives you 60 number cards and 7 different counting games for ages 3–5, all hosted by Pico the Penguin — print, cut, and play the same day.

THE 60 NUMBER CARDS

Numbers 1–20 in three themes: Ocean Friends (fish), Garden Bugs (ladybugs) and Space Stars. Every card shows the big numeral, the number word, exactly that many pictures to count out loud, and two ten-frames filled to the same number — so children meet each number three ways on one card. Every count in this pack was checked by computer before printing: a card that says 7 has exactly 7 pictures and ten-frames filled to 7.

THE 7 GAMES

1. Number Bingo — 6 different boards plus a full set of caller cards (1–20). Cover the number when Pico calls it.

2. Roll and Cover — 4 pages. Roll a die, count the dots, cover that many stars, fish, ladybugs or moons.

3. Number Path — a two-page board game: roll and move from 1 to 20, land on a gold star and roll again.

4. Matching Pairs — numeral cards and picture cards for numbers 1–10: mix face down and find the pairs.

5. Count the Scene — two hunt-and-count pages (ocean and garden) with answer boxes. Grown-up answers are on the quick-check chart.

6. Count the Room — two recording sheets to tally real things around the house or classroom.

7. Ten-Frame Fill-Up — four boards (Make 6, 9, 13 and 17): read the number, fill the frames with counters.

YOU NEED

A printer, scissors (grown-ups do the cutting), one die, and counters such as buttons, coins or bottle caps for covering and ten-frame play.

SAFETY NOTE (also printed on page 2)

This is NOT a toy and adult supervision is required. When cut out, it contains small parts and pieces that could be a choking hazard. A grown-up should do all the cutting; keep pieces in a pouch or box, away from babies and children under 3.

HOW IT WORKS

Print the Letter PDF on US Letter paper or the A4 PDF on A4 — both files contain the same 46 pages. Print at 100% scale, single-sided. Cards and game pieces last longer laminated or in dry-erase sleeves, and you can re-print any page as often as you like for your own family or classroom.

This is a digital product: no physical item will be shipped. All sales of digital downloads are final (no returns or cancellations), and your files are available instantly after purchase. If anything prints wrong or you have any problem with a file, message us and we will fix it — error fixes are always free, with no time limit.

AI disclosure: every design is AI-assisted then hand-finished — this game pack was created with the help of an AI generator, then checked and finished by hand by our shop. The counting content itself was written as data and verified by computer before it was drawn.
