Numeracy game - to encourage counting on



Click the image and the right click and save to your computer. Insert into a word document and print out.

Write numbers in each of the tiles, I am using 1-5 for my little group. Children have to throw a dice and move that number of spaces. Which ever number they land on they have to collect that number of counters. The next time they throw they have to collect the counters and add them onto the number of counters they have already collected. The one who has won the most counters at the end of the game is the winner.
