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.

Thank you sooo much for sharing. This activity is amazing. My students love tracing them with little cars.
Thank you so much for the number rhymes. This is so much fun and my 4yo loves it. There are so many ways you can use them. I only wish there would be the option of the “other” number one (1).
Thank you again!
Thank you so much for these, they are perfect and are the same rhymes we use in school. I have subscribed and been sent the pdf of the number formation 1-10 but it absolutely won’t print. I can’t figure out why, have you ever had this problem before?
I’m sorry! This typically happens when you need to update Adobe Reader. Have you tried that?
I also put my email multiple times and haven’t received anything:(
I will manually send you the rhymes. Sometimes they get sent to spam or promotion folders. I’m sorry!
