About this resource
Description
Who finished first, and who came in fifth? This ordinal numbers racecar activity helps kindergarten through 3rd grade students name and find ordinal positions, first through eighth, by counting from a starting point on a race track.
Players spin an ordinal spinner, read the position, and count the parking spots from the checkered finish line to park their race car in that spot. If the spot is already taken, they lose that turn, and the race ends when every car is parked. The spinner is printed, so all you need is a paper clip and a pencil. A 1st grade practice worksheet asks students to circle or mark a car in a row by its position, using both numerals like 3rd and words like fifth, so they read ordinal numbers both ways.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips and simple steps
- A race track game board with eight parking spots
- An eight-part ordinal spinner and eight cut-out race cars
- A 1st grade practice worksheet with six rows of cars
- A race track answer key with every spot labeled, plus the practice answer key
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, counting from the finish line shows children that position depends on where you start. Second, reading ordinals as numerals and as words builds number sense and early reading at the same time. Third, the race theme turns practice into an exciting game that children want to play again and again.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Introduce the game by lining up eight students and asking who is first, fourth or last. Laminate the track for a math center, or send it home for family game night. This kindergarten counting activity also works well as a quick review before a lesson on following directions. Pair the ordinal numbers racecar activity with the resources below for more practice.
