Count the Seeds: Watermelon Math Activity

The educational math game Watermelon makes learning numbers easy and fun. It helps players learn to count and improve their visual perception. These summer-themed worksheets featuring watermelons are also great for developing logical thinking and attention to detail.

Print out this summer math game for preschoolers and start practicing counting to 12. First, prepare the materials by cutting each watermelon slice in half along the black vertical line. Then, mix all the cut-out cards to make it more challenging and fun for your child to find the correct matches. Next, have your child pick up a card with a number and find the card with seeds that matches that number.

During the game, say each number out loud, counting the black seeds together and touching each one with your index finger. If your child makes a mistake, help them count the seeds again so they can arrive at the correct answer on their own. To make the activity more interactive, hide the watermelon halves around the room and turn the lesson into a challenging hunt.
