Playing the Spider Count the Room Activity

The spider activity is so simple to use and will make learning to count more fun! To begin, you will need to hide the number cards around the classroom.

Then, the students will move around the room with their clipboard, pencil, and worksheet, finding the number cards. Once they find a card, they will count the spiders in the ten frames. Then, they will find the corresponding ten frames on the worksheet and write or trace the number. They will continue this math activity until they see all the number cards.

Multiple Uses in the Classroom

This freebie will make a great math center for the Halloween season! It could be used for a small group of students that are working on this math skill, early finishers, a tutoring group, or a whole class activity.

For struggling students, you could hide the number cards that they know and leave out certain ones. Some students may be ready to work on all 20 numbers, while others may only be ready to work on 1-10. We have also provided you with two worksheets to help you differentiate! One has numbers to trace, and one is blank.

There is room to write each number more than once. This gives you the option to decide how many times you want your students to write the numbers on the lines.

I hope your students enjoy this spider count the room activity and that it becomes a favorite of yours! Your students will get to practice ten frames, counting, and writing numbers, and you get to spend some one-on-one time with students for extra help.
