Summer is just around the corner. This Summer First to 20 Game will be the perfect addition to your math centers. Your students will have so much fun playing this fun, they will not even know that they are learning!

A paper numbers 1-20 on it next to beach balls and a child covering the numbers up.

Summer First to 20 Game contains four different math mats, as well as a DIY number cube.

Your Summer first to 20 freebie comes with instructions, 3 mats, and printable dice cube to assemble.

Getting Summer First to 20 Ready

You will want to print out enough math mats for your students to complete. My students always completed this game during math centers so I always had five printed and ready to go. Whatever your magic number is, have that many printed.

It is recommended that you print on cardstock and laminate so that they can be used for years to come. You will need to print out the dice and glue together. I find that it does better when also printed on cardstock.

Cardstock
Laminator
Glue
Scissors or Paper Trimmer

Doing Summer First to 20 Game

Each student playing the game, will need to have a math mat, counters, and a number cube (or dice). If students are working in pairs or small groups, I always encourage each student to roll the dice before starting. The highest (or lowest) number gets to be the first person to roll.

The first person will roll the dice. My daughter’s number was four so she placed four counters on her math mat.

Your students will love this summer first to 20 game! Perfect for your math centers or to take home over the school break.

The next person will then roll the dice and place counters on their mat. This will continue until the lucky winner fills up their board to twenty!

Hands-on learning fun is to be had with this Summer First to 20 game!

Another variation is to try skip counting. This student has rolled a two and can now put counters in two at a time.
