Ah, Bump, a true favorite in our class! Once Upon a Learning Adventure provides this version as part of a free four-pack of math small group games.

Bump is a fun counting game for working on one-to-one correspondence, numeral identification and connecting numeral to quantity.

Children play the game in pairs, so you will need one game sheet, two six-sided dice and 12 linking cubes in each of two colors for each twosome. (We recommend laminating several copies of the game sheet because this game will surely be popular!)

So many squeals of joy come out of this game — the kiddos love “bumping” each other off a number. Additionally, once they have the game’s directions mastered, kiddos can pair up and play it independently.
