It's Just A Roll of the Dice

One die, many dice...

by Dale Ho

I love games that involve a simple set up and an even easier take down and how simple can you get than two dice?

That's it, all you need for this game are two dice and some time well spent with the kids and it's ideal for children of all ages.  Use it to introduce numbers and new concepts such as addition and subtraction or just use it to practice already acquired skills.

Each of you take turns rolling the dice and either identify numbers you land on or add and subtract the numbers together.

Spend a few minutes each day with the kids on this simple activity and help increase their mental math skills.
