Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 connect written number names, like 'three' or 'seven,' to the numeral they represent, an important step beyond simply recognizing digits since it introduces reading actual number words. Decoding a color clue to figure out and write each number name first adds an extra layer of visual attention before the matching step even begins.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the color-coded letters together and help your child decode which number name they spell out, writing the full word in the space provided. Read the completed number name aloud together, then have your child find the matching numeral among the choices on the page and draw a line connecting the word to its number. Work through each number name one at a time, checking that the written word and the matched numeral agree before moving on.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Crayons
Extension activities
- 1Have the child write several number names on their own without the color-decoding step, for a bit more independence.
- 2Use flashcards with number names on one side and numerals on the other to review and shuffle.
- 3Play a matching card game, laying out number-name cards and numeral cards face down to find pairs.
- 4Practice writing number names for numbers your child counts throughout the day, like stairs or toys.
