Winter Snowman Adapted Book Unit | Counting Number Words 1-10 | SLP SPED Math

The "Ten Little Snowmen" Winter Adapted Books Unit is a complete winter counting and number words mini-unit. It pairs an interactive adapted book (in both color teacher and black-and-white student versions) with file folder games, cookie sheet activities, a clothespin task, and handwriting practice — giving you a full week of plug-and-play winter lessons that hit both literacy AND math goals.

❄️ Perfect for:

• Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting number words, counting, vocabulary, and following directions goals
• Special Education teachers building winter and Kindergarten counting units
• Autism classrooms needing structured, interactive winter activities
• Occupational Therapists working on fine motor skills, clothespin pinch grip, and handwriting
• ABA therapists running discrete trial counting and labeling programs
• Early Childhood, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade teachers
• Math Intervention and RTI / MTSS teachers
• Homeschool families with young learners

⛄ What's Included:

Adapted Books:

• Ten Little Snowmen — color teacher copy
• Ten Little Snowmen — black-and-white student copy
• 4 NEW vocabulary extension activities (sequencing, classification, labeling, positional concepts)

File Folder Games:

• Ten Little Snowmen Number Words Vocabulary Match-Up
• Big and Little Snowmen Sort
• Snowmen: Few / Many Sort

Cookie Sheet Activities:

• Build a Snowman
• Things That Melt / Things That Don't Sort

Sample Text:

"Ten little snowmen,

were so fluffy, white and fine.

Out came the sun,

and then there were nine…"

🎯 Skills Targeted:

Counting 1–10, counting backward from 10 (Common Core K.CC.A), number words and number word recognition, number vocabulary, comparison (big/little, few/many), classification (things that melt vs. don't), sequencing, sorting, positional concepts (prepositions), vocabulary labeling, science concepts (states of matter / melting), fine motor skills (clothespin pinch), handwriting, listening comprehension, and following directions.

How to Use:

Read the adapted book in a small group or whole class to introduce number words and the countdown-from-10 storyline. Send home the black-and-white student copy for take-home practice. Use the file folder games, cookie sheet activities, and clothespin task as center rotations or independent work for the rest of the week. The Build a Snowman cookie sheet activity adds an open-ended creative element, and Things That Melt sneaks in a basic science concept. Handwriting sheets reinforce written number vocabulary practice.
