TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE GAMES INCLUDED:

Spin and cover: Students will spin and cover a spot that matches.

Roll and cover: Students will roll a die, count the dots, and cover the matching spot. Later in the year, adding dice options will be added.

Fill the ___: Students spin and move that many spaces on the board. They will read the spot and, if they identify it correctly, they get to add a cube to their mat. The first player to fill their mat wins. However, if they land on a stop sign, they must empty their mat and start again.

Race to the ___: Students will spin and move to that spot. If there are not any spots that match, they lose a turn. The first player to reach the end wins.

Race to fill: Students will spin and cover a spot on their side of the board that matches. If there are not any spots that match left, they lose that turn. The first player to fill their side of the board wins.

Spin and compare: Students will spin and compare numbers. The player with the greater number gets to add a cube to their side of the mat. The first player to fill their side wins.

Roll and compare: Students will roll dice and compare numbers. The player with the greater number gets to add a cube to their side of the mat. The first player to fill their side wins.

Roll and move: Players will roll a die and move to the corresponding spot. The first player to the end wins.

Roll and count/compare: Students will roll a die and move that many spaces. If they land on a special spot, they have to slide backwards. The first player to the end wins. If played as comparing, two players roll a die and the player with the greater number gets to move.

Race up the ladder: Students will spin and move up the ladder to the matching spot. If no spots are left, they lose that turn. The first player to reach the top wins.
