Count Up and Down Game

Count Up and Down Game for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade students

Count Up and Down Game

Students look at a number pattern, count up or count down, and type the missing number.

This interactive number sequence activity includes preschool, kindergarten, and first grade practice with numbers from 1 to 20.

Perfect for classroom, homework, tutoring, homeschooling, intervention, ESL instruction, special education, or weekend practice.

How the Game Works

Each question shows a counting pattern with one missing number. Students decide whether the pattern is counting up or counting down, enter the missing number, and submit the answer. A round has 10 questions, and perfect rounds earn a bonus with confetti.
