Help your students learn to recognize non-standard dot patterns for numbers 1 to 6 with our new Big Bus Roll and Color page. It's in the Pond Coloring Club ready for you now.
Your children can roll a standard dice and color a window.
Other ideas:
- as a teacher you clap a number, the children listen and count - they find a window to color
- call a sequence of numbers and then stop - the next number the children say loudly (it's noisy on the bus) and then find it to color - e.g. you say 1, 2 3 - they say 4 and find a four
- they roll 2 dice, find the difference and color it - e.g. roll a 6 and 2, color a 4

Challenge your students to trace around a set of windows that totals 10 with a marker after they have colored all the windows - e.g. 5, 4 and 1
