Count to 6 with a Die
About Count to 6 with a Die
The game dice from 1 to 6 is designed so the youngest kids learn to count using something as everyday as a six-sided die. Each roll shows a different face, with a number of dots ranging from 1 to 6, and the goal is to match that number of dots with the corresponding number. It's a very visual way to work on counting, since instead of counting abstract digits, the child counts real objects - the dots on the die - one by one. Besides helping review numbers, it's a good first step before introducing board games with dice, where this skill becomes essential. If you're looking for more similar exercises, take a look at our math games section to keep practicing counting and numbers.
