Roll a Beetle Dice Math Game
This post may contain affiliate links.
We love playing math games with dice at our house. We were learning about bugs in science and thought it would be fun to make a game that relates to math and science!  (How many legs does an insect have?) hence, this Roll a Beetle Dice Math game was born!
It is SO simple to make and to play. Just print out a beetle set for each player and cut them out. You’ll just need one die.
Take turns rolling the dice and build your beetle.
Each number you roll gives you a different body part.
If you roll a 1, you get a Body. If you roll a 2 you get a Head. If you roll a 3 you get an Eye. If you roll a 4 you get an Antennae. If you roll a 5 you get the Tail. And if you roll a 6 you get a Leg.
You have to get your body first, though. So you need to roll a one before everything else. It’s such a fun game for number recognition. My kids LOVED it!
