Roll & Remove Game

My kids loved this game. Half the reason is because they got to eat candy as they played! But seriously, it kept my 6-year-old, 3-year-old and 2-year-old entertained until the game was finished. I love it.

1. Print out these cute, free game boards from The Princess and the Tot.
2. Cut in half and glue onto colored paper.
3. Laminate. I need a laminator. I used two long strips of clear packing tape to “laminate” our boards. I knew with little tasty fingers eating candy corn we’d need a little something to keep the games dry.
4. Place one candy corn in each box. Or, if you’re my kids, also put an extra candy down below, so that if you’ve already rolled the number once, you still get a bonus treat
5. Roll 2 dice (or a 12-sided dice here!)
6. Eat the candy corn from the number you rolled.

I love it because my kids were taking turns, counting the dots, finding the matching number on their board and having fun. You could use this any time of the year. I made up a generic, year-round version too …

Dice Race Game (Numbers)

  

My 6-year-old started playing this Dice Game he learned in kindergarten (middle picture). Of course, my 3-year-old wanted to play too. He can’t write his numbers yet, so I made a quick game board for him too. This game is great for practicing number writing, counting and matching!

How to play:

1. Roll the dice. Technically die, right? Dice sounds better to me
2. Match the dots on the dice to the dots at the bottom of your paper
3. Trace one number & roll again.
4. The goal is to see which number is rolled the most and makes it to the top of the page first.
5. Play with 1 player (cut the page in half) or take turns rolling the dice with 2 players (play with the whole game board.)

You can draw your own quick chart (like the first picture) or download and print this one below that I made up with numbers to trace.
