Playing with Sticks

I got the idea for this game from an old Math Their Way game and then adapted it for the outdoors. It is a fun and active partner game. The two children collect ten sticks and make a line between them. Each partner has one die. They take turns rolling a die and moving that number of sticks to their side of the number line. The sticks move back and forth until one partner has all ten sticks. The children played 3 or 4 games. It was an active and fun game which provided extra practice counting, estimating, subtilizing and partner work.
