What to do
Shuffle the cards and deal 5 cards to each player.
The first player rolls the dice and adds 5 to the number. Throw again if a 6 comes up. For example, if you roll a 3, then 3 + 5 = 8. If the player has the total, for example, 8, she or he can put the card on the table. The next player has a turn.
The winner is the first player to put all their cards on the table.
What to expect your child to do
- Over time, expect your child to instantly recall the addition facts of 5 plus.
Variation
Roll the dice and ask your child to quickly add 5 to the number.
