This EYFS Humpty Dumpty Odd and Even Numbers activity helps children to recognise odd and even numbers with the fun characters 'Odd Bod' and 'Even Steven'. This activity links to the ELG Numerical Patterns and links to the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. The activity could be completed practically with concrete resources to help ensure children fully understand the concept. It could also be completed in small groups or with an adult for support.

It covers the following objectives for children in reception:

Count objects, actions and sounds

Link the number symbol (numeral) with its cardinal number value
