Ladybirds and Dragonflies - Number Bond Ping Pong

A fun game you can play with you child anywhere!

This games will help your child recall all the different ways to make a Number Bond up to 10 and beyond. 

Adult 1 - Say to your child 'We are going to play Number Bonds to 6 Ping Pong'. You say a number eg 3.

Child 1 - They will need to say the number to make the number bond to 6 which is 3 because 3+3=6.

Continue with a different starting number which is 6 or below. 

Adult 1 says 4  - Child 1 says 2

Adult 1 says 6 - Child 1 says 0

Like a game of ping pong. 

Your child should be able to recall the number bond quickly and confidently. 

Repeat the game with a different number bond - 'We are going to play Number Bond to 8 Ping Pong'.

Adult says 5  - Child says 3

Adult says 7 - Child says 1   

Continue with a different starting number which is 8 or below. 

Ladybirds - please play with different number bonds up to 10

Dragonflies - play the game with bonds up to 10 but you should be quite speedy at this! Challenge yourself to number bonds to 20....how do bonds to 10 help you with that? What about number bonds to 100? (e.g. 19 + 1, 12 + 8.....30 + 70, 50 + 50)

Thank you for your support.
