After making their caterpillar, play a number game with dice and counters: Butterfly. 

Math Warm Up Roll and Cover: Butterfly

  • roll a standard dice
  • if you roll a 6, roll again
  • roll a 1 to start, covering number 1 on your caterpillar with a counter
  • keep rolling and cover the numbers in counting order
  • when all 5 are covered- call 'cocoon'
  • to finish, remove counters, counting backwards
  • optional: score a butterfly sticker or stamp - collect 5 over the week each time you play (collect on an Itty Bitty for motivation)
