I currently have 19 Roll and Cover Games available now. Use two game dice with the mat that has numerals 2-12, and have children add the dots on the two dice. Use one game die with the mat that has numerals 1-6.

If you would like for children to practice matching numerals, make your own game die with a wooden or foam cube and write the numerals on the die. They will continue rolling and covering until each space is covered and the game is complete. How to Play Roll and Cover GamesĬhildren will roll a game die, count the dots on the die, and find and cover that number on the mat. Decide if you want to use the 1-6 numeral mat or 1-12 mat. Use the blackline version to save ink and use these with manipulatives or with bingo dot markers. Use the color version with manipulatives, such as cubes, plastic chips, or flat floral marbles to cover the numbers. If you choose the color version, I recommend laminating it to reuse each year. I have included both color and blackline versions so you can pick your preference. These games are easy prep and once the children understand how to play, these games can be used in the Math Center all year by simply changing out the Roll and Cover themed mat.
