How to play
How to play
The aim of this activity is to make 10.
Students have 3 turns each to roll the die.
After each roll students run to collect the corresponding number of counters or bean bags and place them in the ten-frame.
Students can choose to miss one turn, but it cannot be the last roll.
If students go over 10, they have ‘busted’ and are out of the game.
The student closest to 10 after 3 rolls each is the winner.
Students can play best out of 3, playing by making up to 10 as well as backwards to zero.
Hint
Students can play against the student next to them.
Variations
Variations
Vary the locomotor movement used to collect the bean bags.
Play by counting back from 10.
Use a number line instead of a 10 frame.

How could we change the game to make it more/less challenging?
Did you work out a way to play this game so that you didn’t lose?
What was your strategy? Did it work?
