L5 – WWW – Reception Count Actions to 10

Support your EYFS pupils in developing early number sense with this interactive Maths Resource Pack, focusing on counting sounds up to 10. Designed for Reception learners, this resource helps children connect numbers to auditory experiences, making counting engaging, practical, and fun—without the need for worksheets. Children practise recognising and counting sounds such as claps, taps, drum beats, or bells. With prompts like “Listen carefully—how many times did I clap?” or “Can you count 7 drum beats?” pupils are encouraged to concentrate, listen closely, and count what they hear. This strengthens both their counting accuracy and listening skills. Independent activities allow children to follow number cards and produce or recognise sounds the correct number of times, while plenary questions bring the class together to review and consolidate learning.
