math games aplenty...

patterning:

String froot loops (or pony beads) in an ABAB or an ABC pattern to create an edible necklace. (Put masking tape over the stringing end of the yarn for easier poking!)

Children begin their own
pattern with counters or pattern blocks and then switch with a partner who continues their pattern

Stamp a pattern or cut and glue a shape-template-inspired pattern around a sentence strip and then wear it as a crown

Number concepts:

Child rolls a die and then traces over the dotted number on his game sheet that corresponds to the number rolled. He continues

until all numbers on his record sheet have been traced over.

High/Low: With a partner, split a card deck into 2. Each child places one playing card on the playing area. Hign card (or low card for variation) wins the hand. Continue until one player wins all cards.

Place value: Same as above, but 2 cards are played by each player, who then must arrange the cards to produce the number of highest, or lowest, value. Winner takes all cards and game continues until one player wins all cards.

I could go on, but I'm not sure what level of activities you are looking for...
