Use our FREE Ice Cream clip cards for fun number learning in French!

Matching clip cards help children to match quantity and numbers in one look. These cards create a learning visual which is easy to grasp and will encourage the use of the French language in a fun way. Your kids might even jump start counting from 1 to 10 in French when using these types of cards. These make learning numbers fun!

Compare quantity too by placing the cards side by side and counting the ice creams. This helps to visualise more and less concepts.

How to set up the ice cream matching clip activity:

Print, laminate and cut the ice cream printables. Provide mini pegs to clip the correct number (or any other small objects such as pompoms, counters, blocks or even stickers). This also develops fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination (crucial pre-writing skills!) - picking up the tiny items and placing it just right to cover up the number. Just be mindful of tiny items that might end up in a mouth or nose.

How to use the ice cream matching clip printables:

Choose a card and simply count out loud the number of ice creams. Say out loud the numbers you can read on the bottom row, and help your kid recognise the matching number. Once recognised, clip it with the peg, or place or small object on top of it.

You could also set up a dramatic play area with some playdoh for your kids to make playdoh ice creams and count them using the matching clip card, or make the same amount of ice creams as shown on the cards.

Although a simple activity, it encourages your child to count in French.

Use our matching clip cards at home for independent and fun learning or as a quiet activity, or on-the-go in a busy bag!
