Counting & Number Games for Kids

   1. Counting For Kids

   A gentle starting point: count the objects on screen and tap the matching number. Good for younger children who are still learning what each numeral looks like.

   2. Find the Missing Number

   A row of numbers with one gap in it — work out which numeral belongs in the hole. The gap sits in a run of numerals, so each round comes down to spotting which number is missing.

   3. Comparing Numbers? – Quick Math Game

   Two numbers appear and you choose the bigger or the smaller one before the timer runs down. Short rounds make it easy to fit in a few minutes of practice.

   4. Colorify Color by Number

   Every area of the picture carries a number, and matching that number to the right colour slowly reveals the whole image. Calm, tap-based and forgiving of mistakes.

   5. Number Order

   Tap or drag numerals into the right sequence, smallest to largest. A simple format that works well on a touchscreen and needs no reading at all.

The collection runs from simple count-the-objects taps for children who are only just learning their numerals, through to comparing, ordering and quick sums for kids who already recognise numbers on sight.

All 74 games here are free, curated for kids and play instantly in the browser - on phones, tablets and Chromebooks. Nothing installs, there is no account step, and most titles need one finger and no reading, so a child can start a round without an adult setting anything up first.

Where the numbers are actually the game

Number games earn their place when the counting is the thing you do, not decoration around it. Ordering numerals, spotting a missing value in a sequence and choosing the larger of two numbers are all rounds where the number itself is the thing you act on.

The merge and number-doubling puzzles in this collection work differently. You combine matching tiles instead of counting objects, which tends to suit older children who find plain counting rounds dull.
