The leaves are falling and despite all the noise around us, learning IS happening! If you teach like me, then you teach each numeral explicitly. This also includes teaching about matching quantities to numerals. I like to teach the method of touch and count. Students will touch each object/item and attach a numeral to it. This falls under the counting and cardinality kindergarten standards. And to attend to this standard (K.CC.3a) I created this simple but purposeful activity, Fall Leaf Count & Match Quantities to Numerals.
This activity is great for practicing counting objects and matching to numerals 0-7. But it’s also great for fine motor muscle practice too, since this activity requires cutting and gluing. You can download this fall leaf activity for FREE at the bottom of this post, but first you may want to check out these awesome math activities to turn your Little Learners into Little Mathematicians!
Kids will love this fun Fall themed activity to help them learn how to count. There are quite a few ways that this activity can be used in the classroom. Students can use this independently, in small groups, in a math station or even with the whole class.

What a lovely fall counting activity! Having little ones count real leaves and match them to numerals is such a concrete way to build one-to-one correspondence — so much more meaningful than counting on a screen. A tip that pairs beautifully with this: turn it into a counting song, where kids collect one leaf per verse — singing while they count helps the numbers stick in their memory. We sing gentle counting songs with our mascot Sunny over at Sunny Sprouts Kids on YouTube, and little ones love marching around the room ‘collecting’ leaves as they sing. Thanks for sharing this hands-on idea!
Thank you very much!
