1 Ice Cube Tray - 2 Activities

You can find this ice cube tray at the Target Dollar Spot and I really like how many spots it has for these games. For these activities you will also need dice and counters. We used mini erasers but you can also use pom poms, cereal, paper clips, garden stones, etc. 

Activity 1 

Each player uses a different counter. Take turns rolling the dice and putting that amount of counters in the tray. Try to work from top to bottom, left to right. When the tray is full, count how many you have in the tray. Whoever has the most, wins! 

Targeted Skills:

Number Identification, Counting, More/Less, One to One Correspondence, Beginning Reading Skills (top to bottom, left to right)

Activity 2 

The Toddler Version

Put one counter in each spot. Try to work Top to Bottom, Left to Right. When the tray is full you win.
