Materials
Game Board (one board per player)
Large Glass Gems (found at a craft store or the Dollar Store)
Die
Directions
Take turns rolling the die and placing the number of gems on your game boards. The first player to fill their board wins. This is a great game for practicing counting and one-to-one correspondence.
Lesson Extensions
Write numerals 1-6 on the game board, repeating them until all circles have a numeral written in the center. Roll the die, count the dots, and match the number of dots to the numeral. For an extra challenge, write numerals 2-12 on the game board. Roll two dice, count the dots, and place a glass gem on top of the matching numeral.
