Variation 1
Roll the die. colour a balloon of the
correct number. There are no winners or losers – just aim for a colourful
picture! Try to have coloured at least one balloon of each number before
stopping the game.
Variation 2
A competitive game! The first child to
colour in a line of three balloons with the same number wins.
Variation 3
Play until one player has three full
lines of balloons coloured in (or for a specified time). This player is
not necessarily the winner! Total up your score by adding the numbers on
the coloured balloons. The winner has the highest score.
Variation 4
As Variation 3 above, but in this game if
you already have a line of three balloons coloured
in and throw the same number again, you must “pop” one of those balloons
by crossing it out! That balloon no longer counts towards the final
score.
