Conker Dominoes – Early Years / PS1
This flexible, nature-inspired maths and matching resource is perfect for Early Years and PS1 learners, whether you’re in a classroom, home setting, or outdoor learning environment. It’s designed to support counting, subitising, and pattern recognition through playful, hands-on learning that links beautifully with the Welsh Curriculum.
You’ll get:
A set of printable conker-themed dominoes, designed to bring a natural twist to a familiar game. Each domino features conkers arranged in quantities for children to count, match, and play with, helping to strengthen early number sense and visual recognition skills.
This resource can be used in many ways — for traditional domino play, number matching, or as part of autumn and nature-themed maths invitations to play. It encourages turn-taking, observation, and problem-solving while supporting key early numeracy skills.
It works brilliantly in tuff trays, small group maths activities, or outdoor learning setups and can be reused again and again throughout the autumn season.
Links beautifully with AoLEs:
Mathematics & Numeracy
Health and Wellbeing
Language, Literacy & Communication
Humanities (Understanding the World)
If you use this resource, I’d absolutely love to see it in action.
