Games - Counting Game

Each player gets a set of 10 to 20 macaroni noodles/kidney beans/cheerios and a bowl. The first player rolls the dice and puts that many beans in the bowl. The first player to have all their beans in the bowl wins.

Games - Dice Action Game

Use action flashcards and (soft) dice. Have your child throw the dice and pick one flashcard. Do that action (on the flashcard) the number of times shown on the dice.

Action words you can use are: Wiggle, Summersault, Hop (bunny), Hop (one foot), Skip, Smile, Stomp, Run, Snap, Clap, Blink, Roll, Jump, Twirl & Kick.

Depending on which dice of these you pick, you can teach the number or counting.

Here's another dice option. My only suggest is to get soft dice, so they don't hurt when you get hit with them!

Games - Dice Throw

Block Before & After Modifications
Using a big soft dice, put a letter/number/color on each side with tape or tacky stuff (so you can change the cards later). Throw the dice across the room, run to the dice and read the letter/number/etc.
