Looking for fun addition activities for preschool and kindergarten? This Addition Activities Binder gives children hands-on ways to explore early addition with familiar classroom supplies.
Print the pages, slip them into sheet protectors, and bring out counting bears, cubes, dice, or playdough. Children can practice combining groups, missing addends, and making 10.
Use the binder for math centers, small groups, morning tubs, or extra practice at home.
Use the manipulatives you already have. Some favorites include snap cubes, pom poms, large building blocks, counting bears, dice, playdough, and dry-erase markers. A binder and sheet protectors make the activities reusable.
Some supply links may be affiliate links. We may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
These eight interactive addition activities help children count, combine sets, explore different ways to make numbers, and solve missing-number problems. Swap in different manipulatives to keep the practice fresh.
Use snap cubes or small blocks to cover the addition equations that match each sum. This bingo-style activity gives children repeated practice recognizing addition facts.
Find the missing addend that makes 10, then fill the rocket with counting bears, cubes, or other small counters.
Place pom poms, playdough balls, buttons, or cereal on each group of balloons. Count both groups to find the total.
Build each addend with blocks, combine the groups, and count how many there are altogether.
Roll playdough into apples and add each group to the tree. Count the apples together to solve the addition problem.
Use UNO cards or other numbered game cards to build equations and explore different ways to make a number.
Roll two dice, count the dots, and add them. Record the sum with a number manipulative or dry-erase marker.
Fill the gumball machine with pom poms, playdough balls, buttons, or cereal. Count the two groups to find the sum.
Keep addition practice organized in one reusable binder. Print the pages, add sheet protectors, and pull out your favorite counting tools for hands-on math practice throughout the year.
