Here's a fun Halloween-themed dice game for children learning the numbers 1 to 6, which you can play one to one with your child, or with 4 players in total.
You will need a dotted or numbered die and a collection of coloured counters, with a different colour for each player.
Unicorn fans will enjoy playing this game, which is designed to help children learn to match the dots on dice to the appropriate numberals - while having fun, of course! Play singly or in pairs. All you will need is this printable, a die and 1 or 2 coloured pencils.
When a little bit of movement or physical is required - grab a die and make a game of it! Roll the dice and do the movement you see in the chart. We've come up with 3 different ideas for each number, including some yoga poses, so there's lots of fun to be had with this activity.
