Number Even Or Odd Practice Activities
Printable odd and even number activities for Nursery, LKG and UKG children using pairs, pictures, sorting and simple numeral practice.
Practice that builds confidence
Build the idea with pairs
These printable Number Even or Odd activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children understand a simple maths idea: some numbers can be arranged in equal pairs, while one object is left alone in others. Children practise looking at pictures, dots, objects and numerals to decide whether a number is even or odd.
The worksheets include age-appropriate tasks such as circling, colouring, matching, sorting and identifying odd and even numbers. The activities move from concrete visual counting towards recognising the odd-even pattern, so young learners can build confidence before using the words independently.
Even and odd should begin with objects, not memorised rules. A child can place buttons, crayons or blocks in two rows and check: does every object get a partner? If yes, the number is even. If one object is left without a partner, the number is odd. This makes the words even, odd, pair, partner, leftover and equal easy to understand.
How the practice progresses
The printable activities support early learners through small steps. Children first count objects and look for pairs, then colour or circle groups that are even or odd. Later pages may ask them to sort numerals, match pictures to number words, or identify the odd or even choice from a set. This progression helps Nursery children notice visual pairs, while LKG and UKG children begin linking the idea to written numbers.
A simple parent routine at home
Choose one everyday set, such as spoons, toys or biscuits. Ask your child to count them, then make pairs. Say the sentence together: “All have partners, so it is even,” or “One is left, so it is odd.” After this, use one worksheet question and ask the child to explain the answer with the same sentence. Keep the focus on reasoning, not speed.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these sheets after a hands-on maths activity with counters. They work well for small-group practice, maths centres, early finisher tasks or quick revision before moving to skip counting by twos. Children can colour even numbers in one colour and odd numbers in another, then compare their answers with a partner.
Common errors to watch for
Young children may call a number even just because it looks bigger, or they may count the objects correctly but forget to check for pairs. Some may rely on guessing from the numeral without understanding. Encourage them to touch and pair each object, especially when pictures are spread out on the page.

Why iBloom worksheets help
These worksheets keep the concept visual, active and child-friendly. A useful strategy for children is: “Count, pair, check the leftover.” If nothing is left, say even. If one is left, say odd. Repeating this short routine across different pictures and numerals helps children use odd-even vocabulary with real understanding.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
How should I explain odd and even numbers to a young child?
Use objects first. Ask the child to make pairs. If every object has a partner, the number is even. If one object is left without a partner, the number is odd.
Are these worksheets suitable for Nursery children?
Yes, Nursery children can use the picture-based activities with adult support. LKG and UKG children can also practise identifying and sorting written numbers more independently.
Should my child memorise the odd-even pattern?
Memorising can come later. At this stage, it is better for children to understand the idea of pairs and leftover objects before recognising patterns in numerals.
What materials can I use with these printables?
You can use crayons for colouring tasks and small counters such as buttons, seeds, blocks or bottle caps to physically make pairs before answering.
What if my child keeps guessing odd or even?
Slow the activity down. Ask the child to count, draw or touch pairs, then check whether anything is left. This helps replace guessing with a clear strategy.
