To play these dice games, students will roll the die or dice then colour, cover, trace or write the AG word or picture that was rolled. These activities are differentiated so that students who need more support can also be successful with this word family centre.

More Ways to Use these Dice Games:

The dice game mats are no prep. They just need to be printed out and put in the centre or station you wish to use them in. The dice will need to be assembled. You will need to print them out on card stock or other heavy weight paper, cut, fold and tape together. The mats can be laminated to make them reusable, especially if you need to save paper. Dry erase markers can be used on the writing and tracing mats.
