Cookie Ten Frame Matching Game

Do you have any cookie fans in your classroom? I bet so! This cookie sheet ten frame matching game is perfect to play after reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, or just to have on hand in your Pre-K or Kindergarten classroom for a fun math center while learning to match ten frames to numerals.

Cookie Sheet Ten Frame Match

This activity is fairly quick to prep, and the best thing about it is that I can stick it in a ziploc bag and use it again from year to year!

I printed out the ten frame cookie sheets and the number cookies and laminated them, and then I cut them apart on the solid black lines.

You can cut the cookies out on the solid square lines, or cut them into a circle. I opted for a circle feel to give them a more “cookie” feel, but they may last longer left as squares since they won’t bend as easily (though if you print on cardstock, this may help).

There are several ways to play this game.  You could just have kids pick up the cookies and cookie sheets and pair them as they go along, you could play it like a memory game and put them face down until you find the matches, or you could play a more guided version in a small group.

Since I usually play with small groups first when something is introduced, we first laid out all of the cookies in order from 0-10 (yes, this includes that tricky number 0 that sometimes gets left out!)

Then, we took turns picking up a ten frame and identifying how many dots were in it.

Some kids counted one by one, while others who are a bit stronger at subitizing were able to recognize the amount instantly without counting.

When we knew the total, we matching up the cookie sheet with its cookie! We kept going until all of the cookies had found their match.
