With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted to be sure to share my Turkey Grid Game!
We usually play our Grid Games along with our Education Cubes and the coordinating insert cards. Using standard dice is possible with some of the games. However, we think it is much more fun with the Education Cubes! To play the first game, roll the cube and count the number of objects on the cube. Using counters of some sort, cover the same number of objects on the grid until it is full. Super simple, but my kids LOVE it! (Click here for information on the Turkey Counting insert cards.)
Helpful Hints: I prefer to slide the game into a page protector and use it on top of a magnetic cookie sheet. We use our puff ball magnets as counters to cover the grid. As an option, you could use dry erase markers and simply mark off the objects on the grid rather than using counters. Click here to see one of our grid games in action!

By dice, I mean a standard dice with dots or numbers on it.
Oh, TOTALLY! If you have a dice you can use them. Just roll the dice and cover the appropriate # of objects (turkeys) on the grid game. Continue until the entire board is covered. This helps with 1-to-1 correspondence and counting. Hope that helps!!
Hi there. Has anyone who doesn’t have Education Cubes developed a way to use these? Thanks.
