Dice Roll and Cover Printables – 2-Game Set

About this resource

What's inside this resource

This resource includes 2 roll and cover printables for students! Dice is all your students will need. This could be done independently or as a partner activity. Students will roll the dice and cover the number that they rolled. They can use some sort of marker to cover the number or they could color it in. One dice sheet has numbers 1-6 and the other sheet has the numbers printed on dice. Your little learners will get lots of practice with number recognition in this activity.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Roll a die and identify the numeral 1-6 shown, then locate and cover the matching numeral on a game board.
Roll a die and recognize the dice-dot (pip) pattern shown, then locate and cover the matching pattern on a game board.
Compare covered spaces across a row to determine which number was rolled most often.

Teaching tips

Start with the numeral board before the dice-pattern board, since matching a printed numeral is a simpler task than recognizing a dice-dot pattern (subitizing).
Have students use a distinct marker or crayon color for each round so the 'Which number won?' comparison stays easy to read.
Pair students for this game, since one board can support a partner activity as students take turns rolling.

Skills covered

Numeral recognition — students match a rolled die's numeral to the same printed numeral on a game board.
Subitizing dice patterns — students recognize a dice-dot pattern at a glance and match it without counting.
Data comparison — students compare covered spaces across a row to identify which number occurred most.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do both game boards ask students to match a printed numeral?

No — the first board matches a rolled die to a printed numeral (1-6), while the second board asks students to match the roll to a printed dice-dot pattern instead, adding a subitizing step.
