If you are using any of our ice cream themed activities, games or resources I'm sure your students will be almost instantly engaged!
But just in case, you can ignite their learning with a quick warm up activity! Here is one for math.
It's fast to prep - all you need is dice and pattern blocks. They will roll, trade and aim to be the first to build an ice cream!
Roll an Ice Cream
- show students a completed ice cream - a hexagon on 2 trapezoids
- tell them how many scoops they are aiming for (hexagons)
- take turns to roll and take a matching number of green triangles
- as 3 triangles are rolled, they can trade for a trapezoid
- the first 2 trapezoids make the cone cup
- after, each trapezoid-pair can be traded for a hexagon
I hope your students love this super sweet shape game!
A follow up ice cream addition worksheet can help students with counting-on, doubles, missing addends and more - read all about them back on this post.
