Kindergarten Maths Games for Numbers, Shapes & Early Thinking
Eight simple maths games for young children to practise counting, number words, before-and-after numbers, ordering, shapes, number bonds to 10 and a beginner-friendly 6×6 Sudoku.
Keep Kindergarten maths light and positive
Short, calm practice is usually more useful than turning a game into a test.
Pick one or two games. Stop while your child is still engaged rather than pushing through tiredness.
Ask simple questions such as “How did you know?” or “Can you count it with me?”
The games allow another attempt. There is no timer, penalty or need to rush.
1. Count the Objects
Count the pictures, then tap the matching number.
2. Number Word Match
Look at the number and choose the correct word.
3. What Comes Before or After?
Use the number sequence to find the missing neighbour.
4. Which Number Is Bigger?
Tap the greater number.
5. Put the Numbers in Order
Tap from the smallest number to the biggest number.
6. Shape Detective
Look at the shape and choose its name.
7. Make 10
Find the missing number that makes 10.
8. 6×6 Mini Sudoku for Kids
Each row, column and thick 2×3 box uses the numbers 1–6 once.
Easy mode starts with only 6 missing numbers so young children can focus on number recognition and simple logic.
Early maths skills without turning play into a test
The games focus on small, repeatable skills that children can practise independently or with an adult. The aim is to help children notice number patterns, recognise quantities and become comfortable making simple choices.
Kindergarten maths games FAQ
Are these Kindergarten maths games free?
Yes. The games on this page can be played directly in the browser without a login.
How long should a Kindergarten child practise?
For many young children, 5–10 minutes of focused practice is enough. Short, regular practice is usually easier to sustain than a long session.
Is the 6×6 Sudoku too difficult for Kindergarten?
Easy mode removes only six numbers from a completed 6×6 grid. Children tap one blank at a time and choose from numbers 1–6, making it much more approachable than a traditional 9×9 Sudoku.
Can Year 1 students use these games?
Yes. They can also be useful for Year 1 students who want extra practice with early number recognition, counting, ordering and number bonds.
