Today we played a +1 pattern game with our 3rd grade buddies! The students had a paper covered with numbers. They had to take turns rolling a die (the school way). They then had to read the number on the die and turn it into a number sentence. For example, if they rolled a 3…they said “3+1=4”. They had to find the number 4 on their paper and color it. If they rolled the die and said the number sentence, but none of that specific number was left, they couldn’t color or “lost their turn”. They had to keep rolling and saying the number sentences until one person filled up the paper. They were declared “the winner” and then they got to play again!
Third graders did an excellent job being “teachers” and setting a good example of how to play the game. Ask you kindergartner to show you how to play at home. The paper is in his/her folder. It is easy to make one on a blank piece of paper. Just copy the circles and the numbers, and have fun practicing addition at home too!
