Winter Bump Game with 8 Sided Dice

Here is another BUMP game that I made for an 8 sided dice.

I have used a similar game from  www.kidscount1234.com

The Rules:
This is a game the kids play with a partner. Each child takes 10 unifix cubes of one color. Their partner has a different color. The first child rolls two 8 sided dice they add or subtract and put a cube on that number. If another player’s marker is on that number they get to BUMP it off. If your marker is on that number, link the cubes together and it freezes that spot and cannot be BUMPED off. The winner is the player that uses all of his/her markers first!

Snowman Races

This is just like the other race games I have posted...The kids place one marker in front of each number and take turns solving subtraction problems with two dice. I use the dice in dice you can find at a teacher store. You can use anything for a marker… The marker next to the answer for the math problem is moved forward one space. The goal is to get all the markers to the finish line. Students can even make predictions and guess which number will be the winner! I made this a game using an idea from a co-worker of mine Mrs James Check out her website for more great freebies!

Holiday Bump Game

This is a game I have used from Kidscount1234.com I just made a holiday one so my kids thought it was a new game. :)
The Rules:
This is a game the kids play with a partner. Each child takes 10 unifix cubes of one color. Their partner has a different color. The first child rolls 2 dice (or a dice in dice) they add or subtract and put a cube on that number. If another player’s marker is on that number they get to BUMP it off. If your marker is on that number, link the cubes together and it freezes that spot and cannot be BUMPED off. The winner is the player that uses all of his/her markers first!
