Help your Year 1 child build fluency with number bonds through active outdoor play.

Bond Dash is a fast-paced number activity that encourages children to find the number that pairs with another to make 20. As they search for the correct number and explain how they know, they'll practise number bonds, strengthen mental maths and build confidence recalling useful number facts.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. The activity is designed to be flexible. Write the numbers 0–20 onto sticky notes or small pieces of paper, spread them around an outdoor space and start searching for the matching number bonds.
