Nursery Roll and Cover 3: Subitising Dice Game

Roll and Cover 3: dice game board and 1-2-3 dice. A game board of pictures showing 1, 2 and 3 in different patterns, plus a dice net with faces 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. Children roll, recognise the dots quickly, and cover a picture with the same amount. What’s included: • Teacher guide with Development Matters links. • Game board with 12 pictures showing 1, 2 and 3. • 1-2-3 dot dice to cut out and fold. Ideas for using it: • Roll and cover: Roll the dice. Cover a picture with the same amount. • Fingers too: Show the roll on your fingers before covering. • Two colours: Two players use different coloured counters. Who covers more? • Cover them all: Play together until every picture is covered. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Fast recognition of up to 3 objects, without having to count them individually (‘subitising’). • Show ‘finger numbers’ up to 5. • Play with one or more other children, extending and elaborating play ideas. • Compare quantities using language: ‘more than’, ‘fewer than’.
