    • Roll and Record- Do you have any dice at home? Maybe you can borrow one from a board game? If you can find one die, try this game!

Here is how you play:

      1. Roll the die and read the word that goes with the number you rolled ( 1-saw , 2 - were , 3 - then , 4 - their , 5 - your , 6 - of)

      2. After you read the word, write it on this recording sheet or a piece of paper.

      3. Continue rolling, reading, and writing until you write each word 4 times or until one reaches the top of the graph!
