Roll the Die
30 min
3 participantsTactile exploration to find a brick with the same number of studs as designated by the die rolled in a game.
Let's play!
All players taking turns:
Roll the die and read the number.
Find a brick with studs equal to that number.
Roll a 6? Pick any number you wish.
Place the brick on your base plate.
The first one to get 5 bricks that include 1 to 5 studs wins!
How to prepare
3 base plates
All the bricks
1 die
Give a base plate to each player.
Facilitation tips
Roll the die in a box to prevent loss.
Prepare base plate with 5 markers for each category of bricks.
Encourage light tactile exploration of the bricks, “Don’t try to crush them!”.
Confusion between dot’s position in the braille cell, how we represent numbers in braille and the number of dots in the constellation can be avoided by saying “dot 2” and not only “2”.
Possible variations
Reduce the number of bricks.
Change the number of players.

Did you know?
Games operate like guided play, but with the game itself providing the rules, structure and learning goals, rather than those elements being provided by the adult.
Widening access to play, particularly early in life, is one way of reducing the differences experienced by people without the same opportunities.
