Let’s make math practice fun and engaging with a super simple game that’s perfect for little learners. This week’s game is all about rolling dice, coloring apples, and reinforcing those essential early math skills—number order, subitizing, and counting!
How to Play: Apple Roll & Color
Download the free printable Apple Mat where students will see 5 apples in a line, each featuring a standard dot pattern (dice patterns) for the numbers 1 through 5.Here’s how to play:
- Print and color: Print the mat on plain paper and have your students grab their crayons.
- Roll & color: Each student rolls a dice, finds the matching number on their mat, and colors the corresponding apple. Start by rolling a 1, then a 2, and so on, reinforcing number order as they work through the apples.
- Independent or group play: This game can be done independently, with each child rolling their own dice and coloring as they go. Or, make it a group game—take turns rolling, and everyone colors the matching apple on their own mat at the same time!
