Skip Counting By 10S Practice Activities
Printable Nursery, LKG and UKG counting worksheets that build confidence with skip counting by 10s using number patterns, groups of ten and missing numbers.
Practice that builds confidence
From one-by-one counting to tens
These Nursery, LKG and UKG counting worksheets help children practise skip counting by 10s: 10, 20, 30, 40 and onward. Children learn that each number is ten more than the previous one, instead of counting every object one by one.
The printable activities include number sequences, missing-number rows, counting ladders and visual groups of ten. They are designed for early maths practice at home or in class, with clear spaces for tracing, writing, saying and checking the pattern.
Skip counting by 10s is an early counting skill that helps young learners notice a repeated pattern. In Nursery, LKG and UKG, children may first say the numbers aloud like a rhyme, then begin to understand that 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 grow by the same amount each time. The worksheets connect oral counting with written numerals so children can hear, see and write the pattern.
What children practise on the page
The activities move from supported to independent practice. A child may complete a number train, fill in missing tens, follow a counting ladder, circle the next number or match groups of ten to the correct number. Some tasks show the full pattern first; others leave blanks such as 10, 20, __, 40. This helps children predict what comes next rather than memorising a list without meaning.
A simple parent routine
At home, start by asking your child to clap and say “10, 20, 30” slowly. Point to each number on the worksheet as they speak. Next, cover one number and ask, “What comes after 30?” or “What comes before 50?” Finish by letting the child write the missing numbers with a pencil. If needed, keep a small row of ten objects nearby and show that each step adds one more group of ten.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these printables after a counting rhyme, calendar activity or maths warm-up. They also work well in small-group practice for children who can count by ones but need help seeing larger counting jumps. The sheets can be placed in maths centres, used for quick revision, or given as follow-up after demonstrating tens on the board.
Common errors to watch for
Some children say the rhyme correctly but write the numerals in the wrong order. Others confuse similar-sounding numbers, such as 40 and 14, or skip from 20 to 40 because they are rushing. Encourage children to touch each space, say the number clearly, and check whether every answer ends in zero. A helpful child-friendly strategy is: “Say it, point to it, write it, check the zero.”

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does skip counting by 10s mean for Nursery, LKG and UKG children?
It means counting forward by adding ten each time, such as 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. At this level, children mainly practise saying, recognising and writing the pattern.
Should my child be able to count objects before doing these worksheets?
It helps if your child can count small sets by ones, but the worksheets also use patterns and groups of ten to make the idea easier to understand.
