Number bonds are the first step to teaching children number sentences and choosing a number bonds game to introduce them is a great way to support learning. Using number bonds in math is sometimes overlooked but they are fun and can teach a lot!
Using number bonds is a great tool for students to truly grasp the knowledge between the relationships of numbers as well as decomposing numbers. It is the first step to learning addition and subtraction! This post is all about a fun Number Bonds Game that I created. It is complete with free printable worksheet just for you!

Items Needed To Play: 1. Print out this Number Bonds Game / FREE Printable Worksheet PDF 2. Find some abstract items you can use as units. We used pom-poms that I ordered from Amazon. 3. Dry erase marker or pencil if not laminated 4. DICE
How to Play: 1. Roll the dice. 2. Put the number side up that was rolled in the larger top circle. 3. Pick out the same number of units (whichever you choose to use) and lay them out for child. 4. Let the child come up with all the different number combinations they can think of. Their number bonds. We wrote down tally marks for each one as a conversation topic at the end. (3’s have only 1 number bond.)
5. NEXT, take them all away in your hand and set however many you want in one small circle and let the child guess how many are left in your hands. (i.e Number at the top was rolled as a 5, put 3 units/pom poms in one circle, let child guess that you must have 2 units/pom poms in your hand)
