Children learn numbers best when they are part of everyday life. These games need no equipment at all.

• Stair count: count every step on the way up to bed.
• Snack share: share grapes between two plates and check who has more.
• Shape spotting: find circles, squares and triangles on a walk.
• Big and small: sort shoes in the hallway by size.
• Car numbers: read the numbers on number plates.
• Clap patterns: clap, stamp, clap, stamp. What comes next?
• Laundry match: pair up the socks and count the pairs.
