Number Bond Splat

Number Bond Splat

Aim of the Game:

Here’s a really quick set up activity for learning/practising number bonds to 10 (two numbers that add together to make 10). It literally took me 5 minutes to set up and can be played individually or in pairs.  You could also adapt it for number bonds to 20 or 100.  

What do you need?

  • A tens frame
  • Board or large piece of paper with numbers 0-10 written on
  • Two hands (or four if playing in pairs)
  • Some 0-10 number cards folded up

How to Play:

  • Pick one of the number cards and place that many counters on your tens frame.  
  • Count how many you have left and splat both of the numbers that make 10.  
  • This could be played individually or, if done in pairs, it would be a race to see who can splat both numbers first.
