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.
Use our fun five senses die to play some games that help the children think about our five senses. Ask the children to roll the die and see which sense lands at the top.
