SKILLShape recognition, number recognition, counting and addition.
PREPPrint one roll and cover sheet for each child. If you’ll be using the activity in a classroom,
you may also want to laminate it for easy reuse.
Note: There are two versions of each mat: one roll and cover page that practices
counting and recognizing the numbers 1 to 6 AND one roll, add and cover sheet that works
on adding together two numbers up to 12.
Grab a set of pattern blocks and dice for each child.
PLAYTo play the roll and cover game, children roll one die, count the dots that land on top and
cover a matching number with a pattern block. Play continues until all shapes have been
covered.
