Number Formation Rhymes for 11-19

A couple years ago, I created printable posters to help children learn how to write the number 0-10. I’ve been blown away at the response from teachers and parents. Shortly after that, I made lowercase alphabet rhymes, uppercase alphabet rhymes, and shape rhymes! Thank you to all that have downloaded and purchased these rhymes. I’m SO happy to hear how they’ve been used in classrooms around the world. Today I’m very excited to share with you my number formation rhymes for numbers 11-20!

Just like the other formation rhymes, these are rhythmic chants to help little ones learn how to write these numbers. I recommend using my 0-10 number rhymes first and then moving on to these.

Why Rhymes are Important

Rhymes are important for so many reasons! I think they are also SO fun and they are a fabulous tool for teaching.

1. They help with language development! They enhance phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds in words.
2. Rhymes support memory retention, making learning more effective and enjoyable!
3. The rhythmic chants and rhyming words holds the attention of children and helps them remember!
4. They lay a strong foundation for literacy skills and cognitive development.

Ways to Use the Rhymes

You can use these rhymes as posters around your classroom or send them home with students to practice with parents.

Here are some hands-on ideas for using the number rhymes:

1. Have the child trace the numbers using their finger.

2. Laminate the sheets (or place in a plastic sleeve) and practice writing the numbers with a dry erase marker.

3. Use a do-a-dot marker to make the number.

4. Mold play dough to make the numbers.

5. Use clear Bingo chips to make the number.
