Eight 8 Practice Activities
Printable nursery, LKG and UKG number 8 worksheets for tracing, counting, colouring and recognising eight in the 1 to 10 number sequence.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn about 8
These Eight 8 practice activities help nursery, LKG and UKG children recognise the numeral 8, say its number name, and connect it with a set of eight objects. Children practise the idea that 8 comes after 7 and before 9 within Numbers 1 to 10.
The printable worksheets include simple tracing, counting, matching, colouring and object-group activities. They support early maths learning through clear visuals, repeated practice and familiar tasks that build confidence with the number eight.
Children meet 8 as a numeral, a spoken number name, and a quantity. They may trace the shape of 8, count eight pictures, circle groups that show eight, or colour exactly eight objects. This helps them understand that “8” is not only a shape on the page but also a countable amount.
Progression within Numbers 1 to 10
The activities fit naturally in the Numbers 1 10 sequence. Start with recognising 8, then move to counting sets, then comparing it with nearby numbers such as 7 and 9. Children begin to see that counting is ordered: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. This is especially useful for young learners who can recite numbers but still need practice matching each word to one object.
Parent practice routine
At home, use one worksheet along with real objects such as crayons, buttons or spoons. Ask your child to count eight items by touching each one. Then point to the printed 8 and say, “This is eight.” Let the child trace the numeral with a finger before using a pencil. End by asking them to find eight things in the room, such as eight blocks or eight bangles.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for number introduction, revision, maths centers, morning work or small-group support. A worksheet can follow a board activity where children form 8 in the air, count claps, or arrange eight counters. Finished sheets can also be added to a number book from 1 to 10 so children revisit each numeral in order.
Common errors to watch for
Some children reverse the numeral 8, make two separate circles instead of one joined shape, or count too fast and skip an object. Others may colour all pictures instead of exactly eight. Encourage slow one-to-one counting: touch, say the number, move to the next object. For writing, remind them that 8 has a top loop and a bottom loop.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What skills do these Eight 8 worksheets practise?
They practise recognising the numeral 8, tracing its shape, saying the number name eight, counting eight objects, and identifying groups that show exactly eight.
Are these worksheets suitable for nursery children?
Yes. Nursery children can begin with colouring, finger tracing and counting aloud, while LKG and UKG children can do more pencil tracing, matching and independent counting tasks.
How can I help my child write the number 8 correctly?
Let your child trace 8 with a finger first, then with a crayon or pencil. Point out that 8 has two joined loops, one at the top and one at the bottom, and encourage slow, steady movement.
What should I do if my child can say 1 to 10 but cannot count eight objects?
Use touch counting. Ask the child to touch one object for each number word and move items aside after counting. This builds one-to-one counting and prevents skipping or double-counting.
