Christmas Tree Dice Game – Numbers, Colors, and Fun
Your Christmas tree is waiting to be decorated with colorful baubles! The dice will tell you how many to color, you choose a color and paint the baubles accordingly. In the end, you’ll have not only a beautiful tree but also learned to count in a fun way. Ready? Let’s go!
What you'll need
- The Christmas tree template (printed)
- A dice
- Colored pencils
- A little space to paint and roll the dice
How it works
-
Print out the Christmas tree template. Get your colored pencils ready. You’ll need different colors. Set the dice aside and decide who will start rolling.
-
Tip: Everyone can design their own template, or you can create a tree together.
-
Roll the dice. The number you roll indicates how many baubles you can color. Now choose a color. You decide which color to use, but all the baubles you color now must be that color.
-
Example: If you roll a 4, choose the color blue and color four baubles blue. Then it’s the next player’s turn (or you can keep rolling yourself). Each time you roll, color the corresponding number of baubles in your chosen color.
-
Tip: If you feel like it, you can change the rules: maybe a color can’t be chosen twice in a row? When all the baubles are colored, your tree is finished! Every color and every number has made your tree unique.
-
Now it’s your turn: Roll, count, and paint! This way, counting becomes child’s play and your tree a real eye-catcher.
