Resource 5: Count and cover

 Teacher resource for planning or adapting to use with pupils

‘Count and cover’ is played with two players – but you can put two pupils together as ‘one player’. The players will need paper and two dice.

The players write the numbers 2 to 12 on a piece of paper and take turns to roll two dice.

Each player adds the numbers shown on the dice.

Then they cover that number on their piece of paper.

The winner is the first player to cover all their numbers.
