Rainbow Counting Puzzles

As soon as we’re done with cold winter weather we’ll be seeking out rainbows on warmer spring days! We do this by incorporating some rainbow-themed fun into our learning. These free printable Rainbow Counting Puzzles will help us wait for those warmer days to come while reinforcing our number and counting skills!

*Pair with our Counting Centers and Activities for Pre-K & Kindergarten!

Rainbow Counting Puzzles

I love it when learning comes through play and these kinds of puzzles are perfect for reinforcing skills already learned. And prep is easy!

To set the game up, simply print the pages, cut the puzzle tiles, and laminate them (this way they will last a lot longer!). Printing them on cardstock makes them even more durable.

Now that you have all the pieces ready, play away!

Ways to Play

There are quite a few ways you can go about using these, and here are just a few of the ideas:

• Use them as a memory/matching game, where the tiles are turned around and kids try to find the pairs.
• Use them as puzzles by arranging the tiles in front of kids and having them match the numbers.

• Think of different ways for kids to match up these puzzles. Perhaps having them match up the numbers with the number that follows next, like matching 1 with 2.
• Play a variation of an “I have ___. Who has ___?” game, shuffling the puzzle pieces and giving each child a few to hold in their hands, calling the numbers and other kids responding to requests. So if one child has half of the rainbow with the number 7 he or she calls, “Who has 7 stars?” The child with 7 stars then responds that they have it and then it is their turn to call the next number.

I’m sure you or even your kids will come up with other fun ways to use them too!
