Number Formation Rhymes
I’m excited to share with you my Number Formation Rhymes! I’ve been teaching my little ones how to write numbers and wanted some rhymes to help them remember the formations. I found these rhymes and decided to make my own posters for our school room. The catchy rhymes are a great way to help little ones learn how to write numbers.
Why Use Number Rhymes
These number rhymes are awesome for teaching students how to write numbers. Each number has a catchy poem to help children remember how to write the number.
Rhymes are great for teaching preschoolers because they’re catchy, memorable, and help with language development. They make learning fun and engaging and they also help kids with phonemic awareness, which is crucial for early reading skills. Rhymes are also an easy way for children to remember and repeat, which reinforces their learning.
10 Ideas for Using the Rhymes
Here are 10 ideas for using the number formation rhymes:
- Place pom poms on the numbers.
2. Put the rhyme in a plastic pocket and trace the numbers with a dry erase marker.
3. Fill the number with translucent colored chips.
4. Use a Do a Dot marker to make the number.
5. Drive toy cars on the numbers.
6. Make the number with cotton swabs and paint.
7. Fill in the number with counting bears.
8. Form play dough in the shape of the number.
9. Trace the number multiple times with crayons or colored pencils.
10. Use a stamp and your fingerprint to make the number.
There are lots of fun ways to use these rhymes! Of course you could also use them as posters, too.

I learned these almost 60 years ago – in grade one – before it was common to go to preschool.
Fun to see they are still around.
They are slightly different from what I remember…..
These are great, Thanks!

Hello..have signed up for your newsletters.
Will it take a few days to rcv email/link?
No it is sent right away. I will send you an email.
hello Angela…I love the big numbers it the dotted lines for kids to trace with fingers, or make with playdough, and your clip art is cute…but I was wondering if you might have a version that is editable so that we might be able to change just the rhyme part…My district uses slightly different wording for our number formations, and I am hopeful that I might still be able to have cute, yet consistent, practice for my Kindergarten kiddos 🙂

The spot for the password is a box at the top of the page. I haven’t heard of someone not being able to see that section, so maybe try a different browser if you can’t find it. You can email me with more questions if you can’t find it. angela@teachingmama.org
