Make “snowballs” from paper (or any way you like), then place them in a bucket at one end of the room. Then they see how many they have of each color and write that number bond to make 10.

KINDERGARTEN GAME FREE
These free printable cards show numerals and matching bundles of sticks that deconstruct each teen number into tens and ones. Once they’ve mastered the numbers 1 to 10, it’s time to understand how those numerals add up to make bigger numbers. If they get it right, they keep the stick, and the next player takes a turn. Then, have a student draw a stick and count on by fives from that number to 100-if they draw 75, they then count 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100. Kids can practice by putting them in order first.
