Sheep's Barnyard Adventure: A Fun Counting and Movement Worksheet
This board-game-style worksheet helps children ages 4-6 practice counting and number recognition by rolling a die and moving a sheep piece along a numbered path, following simple instructions at each stop. Turning counting practice into a game with chance and movement keeps children engaged far longer than a static worksheet, while still reinforcing accurate counting and number sequence recognition along the path.

How to use this worksheet
Set up the sheep game board and choose a marker to represent the sheep. Take turns rolling the die, counting the dots or number shown aloud, and moving the sheep that many spaces along the path. When the sheep lands on a space with special instructions, like 'move back two' or 'take an extra turn,' read it together and follow it, continuing to take turns until the sheep reaches the end of the barnyard path.
