Using Your Strip Puzzle Game

Get your zoo animal puzzle printable ready by cutting them into strips. Then ask the child the arrange the strip puzzle in the correct number order from 1 to 10 or 11 to 20.

Although this activity aims to teach the order of numbers 1 to 20, a child who doesn’t know how to count to 20 can still do it by simply forming the picture instead.

There are 2 puzzles included: one is numbers 1 to 10 and the other 11 to 20.

Free Animal Number Puzzle

If your child is good with the scissors, you could make it a combined fine motor activity by asking them to cut the strip puzzle out themselves.

You could also make it more challenging by mixing up both zoo animal puzzle printables together. This means that they will need to sort through the 2 animal number puzzles to get the correct sequences.

If you don’t show them what the picture is supposed to look like beforehand, then they will also pay more attention to trying to order the numbers rather than simply forming the picture of the zoo animal puzzle printable.

You can use this as an independent math station any time of the year. This can also be set up like a file folder game if you put some velcro dots behind each of the strips.
