Help your Year 1 child practise addition within 20 through a fast-paced dice game.

Cross-Out Challenge gives repeated addition practice without feeling like a worksheet. Players roll two dice, add the numbers together and cross out the matching total, while trying to protect their three lives from unlucky rolls of seven. As they play, children become more fluent with simple totals and practise useful counting strategies.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. Encourage counting on from the larger number, then look for patterns in which totals appear most often and make predictions about what might be crossed out next.
