About this resource

Feed the Squirrels is a fun math counting activity for your students to enjoy! All you need is a dice, counters and these printables! Students will roll the dice (or the pair of dice) and use their counters to cover the acorn with that number. When they are finished covering all 6 acorns, they can count the total number of counters they have placed on the entire page. This individual activity could also serve as a partner game. The student with the most counters wins!
