Here is how this game works:
Materials Needed:
*2 Die (Numbers 1-6)
*22 Game Pieces (11 for each student) (I use seasonal erasers from Target!)
Players per game:
*Two
Game instructions:
1. Each student picks a side of the game board.
2. Each student covers their side with a game piece on each number.
3. Partners take turns rolling two dies and adding the two numbers together. Whatever the sum is, they uncover that number on their side of the board. The first player to uncover all of their pieces wins. If the student rolls a sum already uncovered, they can not remove any game piece during that turn.
**Creation Tip: Print and laminate and these boards will last you for years!**
Common Core Objectives covered in this packet are: K.OA.A.5 and 1.OA.C.6
