Counting Games for Toddlers

One touch, one number. Begin with a small group of real objects, then choose a picture-counting activity when your child is ready to explore together.

What children can practise

Choose something to try

Games to explore

Games open at your child’s current profile Level. Read instructions together, use Listen where offered, and take a break whenever you like.

Help your child get started

A toddler’s starting point

Count two or three familiar objects together. Move each one as you say its number. At age two, an adult should lead this shared, hands-on introduction; a screen game is not required.

Choose the next counting step

Monster Picnic is available in the 3–4 curriculum band for counting requested treats. Counting Garden is in the 5–6 band for matching groups up to ten to a number. Choose by readiness and the child’s shared profile Level.

Try it at home

Count a few toy animals into a pretend picnic. Ask for one more, then count the new group together without rushing.

Try it in the classroom

Pair a picture-counting activity with counters. Children can build the same group on the table and explain how they know each object was counted once.

A few useful answers

Are both counting games intended for two-year-olds?

No. The activities below show their available profile Levels. Monster Picnic begins in the 3–4 band and Counting Garden in the 5–6 band. For a two-year-old, start with adult-led object counting and the simple matching activities in the age-two guide.

How do we choose a Level and start playing?

Open a game or Go to Worlds, then choose a Level using the shared profile controls if you have not chosen one yet. Levels 1–2 correspond to the age-two band, 3–4 to ages 3–4, 5–6 to ages 5–6, 7–8 to ages 7–8, and 9–10 to ages 9–10. The first Level in each pair offers a starter collection; the second offers a fuller collection. Age is guidance, and a discovery-page link does not change the profile.

Are the games free, and where is progress saved?

The activities are free to play without creating an online account. Profiles and supported activity progress stay in this browser on this device. They do not sync between devices. Private browsing, blocked storage or clearing browser data can prevent saving or remove local progress.
