This is a printable game based on an old game called "shut the box." To play, you roll 2 dice and add them. You cover the sum or any numbers that add up to the sum. You stop when you can't match the number rolled. The goal is to have the lowest number left and if you cover all of the numbers, you "shut the box" and win. Students can play by themselves to see what their lowest score is or play in groups of 2-4. I have included 5 variations of the game and 3 variations of the record sheet so you
Addition practice for early learners. They get to draw part of the gumballs and can color the others and add them together to help them count. This helps incorporate visual and artistic learning styles.
