Dice & Roll-and-Stamp Games

I usually have the kids play this game in pairs, with each person using a different color crayon. They share one piece of paper.

Player 1 rolls a die and determines the amount of dots on the die. She finds the appropriate numeral on the paper and colors it in.

Player 2 goes and does the same.

Play continues until there are no numbers left. Whoever has the most can take the paper home.

With a laminated color copy, glass gems or bingo chips can be used to cover the numbers.

math for a preschool transportation theme

Dice & Roll-and-Stamp Games
There's just something about dice that preschoolers inherently seem to love! I think that's why dice games always seem to be a hit at school.

Prep: Print out the games - I've included color and black-and-white versions of a helicopter and a hot air balloon. The black-and-white versions are meant to be copied and given to students to color on (so they can take them home after the games). The color versions are meant to be laminated and used over and over in the classroom (if you're seeking less paper production).

How to play the dice game:

I usually have the kids play this game in pairs, with each person using a different color crayon. They share one piece of paper.

Player 1 rolls a die and determines the amount of dots on the die. She finds the appropriate numeral on the paper and colors it in.

Player 2 goes and does the same.

Play continues until there are no numbers left. Whoever has the most can take the paper home.

With a laminated color copy, glass gems or bingo chips can be used to cover the numbers.

How to play the roll-and-stamp game:

This is just a different version of the above dice game. Instead of coloring in boxes, the children use a dot stamp (aka bingo marker) to cover the number. Whoever has the most at the end of the game can take the paper home.

With a laminated color copy, children can use glass gems or bingo chips to cover the numbers.

Number Cards
Help children with counting, fine motor skills, and numeral-to-quantity understanding with these simple cards.

Prep: Print out the number cards and cut them apart. There are four number cards on each page. I suggest laminating the cards so they're sturdier and last longer.

Different ways to play with the number cards:

Children can use clothespins with the number cards. They pin the clothespin on the appropriate number after counting the transportation vehicles.

The children can use toy vehicles to make this a more hands-on lesson. For example, if they have a card with three cars on it, the kids would grab three toy cars. They'd work together to match the pattern of the cars on the picture card. Then they could determine the appropriate number.

Number Puzzles
These puzzles are self-correcting, as children can see if the picture is coming together correctly.

Prep: Print out the number puzzles. They can be laminated and then cut apart to be kept in the classroom. The puzzles could also just be printed out (in black and white) for each child to use and take home.

Using the number puzzles:

Children can work independently or with a friend to complete the puzzles. Laminated versions would be great in the math center. Once the puzzles are assembled, children can point to each and count.

The puzzles can be completed, then broken apart (but kept in numerical order). Children can then bring out toy cars to match the numerals. Underneath the number 2, they would place two cars. Under the number 5, they'd place five cars.

If printing so each child gets a copy, the kiddos could cut the strips apart themselves. Then they'd mix them up and reassemble the puzzles. If they wanted, the children could glue the puzzle back together on a piece of construction paper.

Number Roads
These number roads are from Dr. Jean, and I looooove them! You can grab your own free printable version .

Prep: Print out the number cards. There are letter cards as well, so I just downloaded everything to a flash drive. I took the drive to a local copy shop and had them print everything out for me. It saved my ink at home! Laminate the cards and keep them as a class set.

Ways to use the number roads:

Place the roads out along with a variety of toy vehicles. Children can drive the cars along the roads, practicing correct number formation.

Have the children put the numbers in order.

Have the children count out the appropriate number of toy vehicles for each road. They can drive the vehicles on the number road, counting as they go!

All 11 pages of my transportation math activities are available to my email subscribers. I send out 2 to 4 emails a month with recent posts, fun ideas I've found around the web, freebies, etc. You can sign up HERE. The math activities include a dice game (in color and black-and-white), a roll-and-stamp game (in color and black-and-white), 12 mini number cards, and 4 number puzzles.

If you're not up for becoming an email subscriber, you can still grab the helicopter dice game HERE.

Name Trains

{Literacy}
Children glue squares with the letters of their name onto a strip of construction paper to make a name “train”. We add a paper engine and draw on the wheels.

Train Activities

Name Trains

{Literacy}
Children glue squares with the letters of their name onto a strip of construction paper to make a name "train". We add a paper engine and draw on the wheels.

Scissor Skills

{Fine Motor Skills}
Children pretend the scissors are a train, cutting along the railroad tracks (straight, curved & jagged lines). They stop when they come to the animal sticker.

Train Patterns

{Math}
Children work in pairs, each choosing one color of the Unifix cubes to work with. The children make an AB pattern: one child adding one color and the other adding the next color, taking turns adding to the train.

Airplane Activities

Jet Pilot

{Large Motor}
Children fly around the room when their first initial is called.

Craft Stick Airplanes

{Art}
Children use craft sticks and colored masking tape to create airplanes.

Airplane Counting

{Math}
Each month, we kept track of how many airplanes flew over our playground while we were outside. Whenever the children saw airplanes outside, we would keep a count in our heads (usually no more than 3 flew over). Then when we went inside, we would add that many airplanes to our chart. The children were often spotted at the chart counting how many we had seen so far.

Parachutes

{Science}
Make parachutes with a 14-inch (approx.) square from a plastic trash bag, tape a 16-inch (approx.) string to each corner with masking tape, and tie all four pieces of string to a 3/4-inch metal washer. This is not easy for children to do. You could make this with each child, or send home the materials and directions for a home activity. Either way children will need individual help. I also made a larger parachute using a whole trash bag tied on four sides to a stuffed animal. The kids had fun dropping this from the classroom loft. (Children are exploring properties of air.)

Car and Truck Activities

Red Light, Green Light

{Large Motor}
When green light is on, children roll a car around on the floor. When they see the red light, the cars should stop.

Tire Tracks

{Art}
Children dip the tires of toy cars in paint and roll it across their paper to make tire tracks. Oriental Trading also has some car stamps that can be used for this activity. (Item number IN-56/2906)

Play Dough Tire Tracks

{Fine Motor Skills}
Children flatten out play dough and roll toy cars and trucks on it to make tire tracks.

Letter Roads

{Literacy}
We use large foam letters (ours came from Lakeshore). Children drive over the shapes of the letters with mini toy cars.

Ramps & Cars

{Math}
The children bring a small car or truck to school for this experiment. We test the cars to see how well they roll on a ramp covered with various materials. We used aluminum foil, sandpaper, bubble wrap, and corrugated paper. Also, change the height of the ramp and test it again.

Traffic Light Cookies

{Cooking}
Children mix red, green and yellow food coloring with white icing, and spread the icing onto the three vanilla wafers to make a traffic light.

Truck Bingo Stamping Game

{Math or Literacy}
Read about and print the Truck Bingo Game here.

More Activities

Story Retelling

{Literacy}
This is an activity that goes with any theme. Choose a book that goes with the theme, and have the children retell the story.
Read the blog post here for details: story retelling

Transportation Graph

{Math}
I used the transportation clipart pictures (available in the Printables section) to place in the top of the pocket chart graph. Children choose their favorite mode of transportation and placed their name card under it on the graph.

Wheels Grid Game

{Math}
Read about about print here: Grid Games

Wheels on the Bus Song Book

This song book for Wheels on the Bus can be printed or projected as a slideshow. Go to the Song Books page to download.

Science Center

I also made a larger parachute using a whole trash bag tied on four sides to a stuffed animal. The kids had fun dropping this from the classroom loft. (Children are exploring properties of air.)

Car and Truck Activities

Red Light, Green Light

{Large Motor}
When green light is on, children roll a car around on the floor. When they see the red light, the cars should stop.

Tire Tracks

{Art}
Children dip the tires of toy cars in paint and roll it across their paper to make tire tracks. Oriental Trading also has some car stamps that can be used for this activity. (Item number IN-56/2906)

Play Dough Tire Tracks

{Fine Motor Skills}
Children flatten out play dough and roll toy cars and trucks on it to make tire tracks.

Letter Roads

{Literacy}
We use large foam letters (ours came from Lakeshore). Children drive over the shapes of the letters with mini toy cars.

Ramps & Cars

{Math}
The children bring a small car or truck to school for this experiment. We test the cars to see how well they roll on a ramp covered with various materials. We used aluminum foil, sandpaper, bubble wrap, and corrugated paper. Also, change the height of the ramp and test it again.

Traffic Light Cookies

{Cooking}
Children mix red, green and yellow food coloring with white icing, and spread the icing onto the three vanilla wafers to make a traffic light.

Train Activities

Name Trains

{Literacy}
Children glue squares with the letters of their name onto a strip of construction paper to make a name "train". We add a paper engine and draw on the wheels.

Scissor Skills

{Fine Motor Skills}
Children pretend the scissors are a train, cutting along the railroad tracks (straight, curved & jagged lines). They stop when they come to the animal sticker.

Train Patterns

{Math}
Children work in pairs, each choosing one color of the Unifix cubes to work with. The children make an AB pattern: one child adding one color and the other adding the next color, taking turns adding to the train.

Airplane Activities

Jet Pilot

{Large Motor}
Children fly around the room when their first initial is called.

Craft Stick Airplanes

{Art}
Children use craft sticks and colored masking tape to create airplanes.

Airplane Counting

{Math}
Each month, we kept track of how many airplanes flew over our playground while we were outside. Whenever the children saw airplanes outside, we would keep a count in our heads (usually no more than 3 flew over). Then when we went inside, we would add that many airplanes to our chart. The children were often spotted at the chart counting how many we had seen so far.

Parachutes

Children pretend the scissors are a train, cutting along the railroad tracks (straight, curved & jagged lines). They stop when they come to the animal sticker.

Train Patterns

{Math}
Children work in pairs, each choosing one color of the Unifix cubes to work with. The children make an AB pattern: one child adding one color and the other adding the next color, taking turns adding to the train.

Airplane Activities

Jet Pilot

{Large Motor}
Children fly around the room when their first initial is called.

Craft Stick Airplanes

{Art}
Children use craft sticks and colored masking tape to create airplanes.

Airplane Counting

{Math}
Each month, we kept track of how many airplanes flew over our playground while we were outside. Whenever the children saw airplanes outside, we would keep a count in our heads (usually no more than 3 flew over). Then when we went inside, we would add that many airplanes to our chart. The children were often spotted at the chart counting how many we had seen so far.

Parachutes

{Science}
Make parachutes with a 14-inch (approx.) square from a plastic trash bag, tape a 16-inch (approx.) string to each corner with masking tape, and tie all four pieces of string to a 3/4-inch metal washer. This is not easy for children to do. You could make this with each child, or send home the materials and directions for a home activity. Either way children will need individual help. I also made a larger parachute using a whole trash bag tied on four sides to a stuffed animal. The kids had fun dropping this from the classroom loft. (Children are exploring properties of air.)

Car and Truck Activities

Red Light, Green Light

{Large Motor}
When green light is on, children roll a car around on the floor. When they see the red light, the cars should stop.

Tire Tracks

{Art}
Children dip the tires of toy cars in paint and roll it across their paper to make tire tracks. Oriental Trading also has some car stamps that can be used for this activity. (Item number IN-56/2906)

Play Dough Tire Tracks

{Fine Motor Skills}
Children flatten out play dough and roll toy cars and trucks on it to make tire tracks.

Letter Roads

{Literacy}
We use large foam letters (ours came from Lakeshore). Children drive over the shapes of the letters with mini toy cars.

Ramps & Cars

{Math}
The children bring a small car or truck to school for this experiment. We test the cars to see how well they roll on a ramp covered with various materials. We used aluminum foil, sandpaper, bubble wrap, and corrugated paper. Also, change the height of the ramp and test it again.

Traffic Light Cookies

{Cooking}
Children mix red, green and yellow food coloring with white icing, and spread the icing onto the three vanilla wafers to make a traffic light.
