Here’s how to play:

Material:

• Use a number dice, place white stickers over the numbers and print a color or symbol of the counter you will be using.

• Ten Frame or two if you’re going above 10

• Counters can be buttons, cereal, cotton balls, beads, bread clips, etc., you’ll need to colors/kind of counter ( 1 cotton ball & 1 cereal)

Children roll the cube and name the color/symbol. Take a color/symbol rolled out of the basket and place it in a square on the ten frame. Continue rolling the cube and placing a color/symbol on the ten frame until the whole frame is full (one color/symbol  per square). Then have your child sort the color/symbol they have by putting them into their own groups in a line. Count how many of each. Which has the most, least, or same amount? keep playing!

Another way to play: You can also make the ten frame, place it inside a sheet protector and use a whiteboard marker to draw in the ten frame using two different symbols ( x & O)
