Number Name Word Search Worksheet for Kids
Searching a grid of letters to find hidden number names, like 'seven' or 'twelve,' asks children ages 4-6 to recognize whole written words by sight, a skill that goes beyond sounding out letters one at a time. This word search format also builds visual scanning and sustained attention, since children must check rows, columns, and sometimes diagonals systematically rather than glancing randomly. Matching each found word back to its corresponding number afterward reinforces the link between a number's name, its written word form, and its numeral.

How to use this worksheet
Read the list of number-name words together before starting, so your child knows exactly what they're hunting for in the grid. Have them scan the grid row by row, looking for the letter sequences that spell out each number name. When they spot one, have them circle it in the grid and cross it off the word list. Once all the number names are found, help your child draw a line matching each word to its corresponding numeral shown elsewhere on the page.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Highlighter or colored pencils

Crossword Math Worksheet: Fill in the Missing Numbers!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This crossword-style worksheet has 4-6 year olds solve a series of subtraction equations to fill in missing numbers, then cross-check their answers by matching them across and down within the grid — a built-in accuracy check that regular subtraction worksheets don't offer. Because an answer has to be correct in both directions to complete the crossword properly, this format naturally encourages your child to double-check their subtraction rather than move on after a single attempt.
Action Verbs Worksheet: Fill in the Blanks!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet moves 4-6 year olds a step beyond matching verbs to pictures — now they have to read a full sentence, understand its meaning, choose the correct verb from a word box, and write it into the blank themselves. That combination of reading comprehension, vocabulary selection, and handwriting makes this noticeably more demanding than earlier action-word worksheets, and it's exactly the kind of sentence-completion task children will meet again in early elementary grammar lessons.
Tense Time! A Worksheet on Past, Present, and Future Verbs
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet has 4-6 year olds take a given verb and write it correctly in past, present, and future tense boxes, which is a more demanding task than simply identifying tense since it requires actually producing the correct verb form each time — including the common '-ed' ending pattern for regular verbs. Practicing this transformation across multiple verbs builds the flexible understanding that the same action word changes shape depending on when it happens.
2D Shapes Worksheet for Preschoolers: Identifying Shapes and Properties
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet pushes 4-6 year olds past simply naming shapes into analyzing their properties — counting sides and corners for circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, and hexagons, and using those properties to answer more complex questions about which shapes combine to form others. That combination-and-composition piece (asking what shapes make up a bigger shape, or identifying a shaded portion) is genuine early geometric reasoning, well beyond simple shape recognition.
Plant Adaptation Matching Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet has 4-6 year olds match written descriptions of plant adaptations to the correct pictures, building on the idea that plants develop specific features — thick leaves, deep roots, bright flowers — to help them survive in their particular environment. Matching a description to an image requires your child to connect an abstract idea (why does this feature help?) to a concrete picture, which is a genuine step up from simple plant-part identification.
2D Shape Sort Worksheet for Preschoolers: Matching Shapes!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet connects a shape's visual form to its written name, asking 3-5 year olds to match circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles on one side of the page to their names on the other. That word-to-shape link builds early reading vocabulary alongside geometry, since shape names are often a child's first exposure to reading multi-letter words that describe something they can see and touch. The follow-up questions at the bottom add a light counting or identification check to confirm the matching was done with real understanding.
Plant Properties Worksheet for Preschoolers: Learn About Plants!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Filling in the blanks about what plants need to survive and labeling their parts gives children ages 4-6 a more structured science lesson than a simple coloring page, requiring them to recall specific facts rather than just recognize pictures. This worksheet combines factual recall — like knowing plants need sunlight, water, and air — with visual labeling of plant anatomy, reinforcing the same content in two different formats. Understanding what plants need to grow also builds a foundation for later lessons on ecosystems, food chains, and basic biology.
Plant Parts Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet introduces 4-6 year olds to plant anatomy — roots, stem, leaves, and flower — and asks them to connect each part's name to its function, while a separate matching section links different plant types to their pictures. Learning that plants have parts with specific jobs (roots drink water, leaves make food from sunlight) is an early building block of life science, and naming these parts gives your child vocabulary they'll keep reusing throughout school science lessons.

Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 connect written number words — like 'three' or 'seven' — to their matching numerals, an important step beyond simple numeral recognition toward full number literacy. Drawing a line from a number name to the numeral it stands for requires children to read or recall the word and hold it in mind while scanning for its match, which builds working memory alongside early reading and number skills.
Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This matching worksheet builds early number-word literacy for children ages 3-5 by asking them to connect each numeral with its written name. Learning that '5' and 'five' refer to the same quantity strengthens number sense and lays groundwork for reading math vocabulary later in school. The side-by-side layout also sharpens visual scanning and one-to-one matching skills.
Number Names Worksheet: Write the Missing Letters!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet builds early spelling and number-word recognition as children ages 4-6 look at a numeral and fill in the missing letters to complete its written name, such as turning 'f_ve' into 'five.' Connecting the numeral, the spoken word, and its written spelling all in one task strengthens both literacy and numeracy at the same time.
Number Names Worksheet: Writing and Matching Numbers 51-60!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Writing out number names like 'fifty-one' or 'fifty-eight' next to their numerals helps children ages 4-6 connect the spoken word for a number to both its written word form and its digit form, a three-way link that strengthens overall number sense in the 51-60 range. This worksheet also revisits missing-number sequencing and color-coding, giving repeated exposure to the same number range through several different tasks. Building fluency with two-digit number names prepares children for reading numbers in books, on clocks, and in everyday life.
Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
This worksheet layers two skills for children ages 4-5: unscrambling the letters of a number-name word and then matching that word to its correct numeral. Unscrambling requires children to recognize familiar letter sequences, an early word-recognition skill, while matching reinforces that written number words correspond to specific quantities. Together these tasks push number-word literacy a step further than simple copying or tracing.
Grouping Stars: Tens and Ones Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Circling groups of ten stars and counting the leftover ones teaches children ages 4-6 to see a two-digit number as tens plus ones, reinforcing place value in a visual, hands-on way. This grouping practice builds a stronger number sense than memorizing numerals alone, since children physically organize quantities before writing them down.
Tens and Ones Worksheet: Counting Fruits and Matching Numbers!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Counting groups of fruit and organizing them into tens and ones builds early place value understanding for children ages 4-6, a foundational concept for reading and writing two-digit numbers correctly.
Number Names Worksheet: Trace, Count, and Match Numbers 1-5!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
Tracing, counting, and matching number names for 1 through 5 helps children ages 3-5 connect three different representations of the same quantity — the written word, the numeral, and a countable group of objects. Building this three-way connection early strengthens overall number sense and makes it easier to recognize numbers in whatever form they appear later, whether written as words or digits.
