Roll ‘n’ Write Games

By Karen Cox | Affiliate Disclosure

I first made a Roll ‘n’ Write game to go with my Transportation theme to hopefully spark an interest in writing practice, and it was a huge hit. Since then, I’ve made a few more of these and plan to add many more themes and holidays. This page will be updated with the links to all of the games I create.

Roll and Write Games

Directions

To prepare, print out the Roll ‘n’ Write mat on card stock and either laminate or slip it into a page protector. Write letters on the sides of a wooden cube to make the dice. You can put dot stickers or masking tape squares on the cube so they can be removed, and put new letters on later.

To play, children roll the die and write the letter they rolled in the first square, using a dry erase marker or dry erase crayon. They continue rolling and writing until all of the squares are filled up. When they are done, they can count each letter and determine which have the most/least/same amount.

    I would like the roll and write games to have letters the kids can trace (dotted line letters). This would allow children who aren’t quite ready for free hand writing to trace the letters and “graduate” to freehand. Any chance PreKinders could make these?

    Thanks!
    Chandra

      Hi Chandra! Thanks for the suggestion, but I have a rule that I do not post worksheets on my site. I have printable games, but no worksheets or color sheets. Its actually better for the youngest children to have blank spaces to practice writing rather than tracing. Every child may not be able to form a letter, but I accept their best efforts.

        Thanks for the response. At the Christian daycare/preschool where I work we start our K2 classes out tracing then “graduate” to writing (in K3). This is why I asked about maybe adding dotted letters to the Roll & Write Games. Our K2’s tracing is a mess at first but once they get the concept they do really well. We continue tracing at the beginning of K3 and then start writing letters/our name later in the year. By the end of K3 our kids are writing there names/letters. Thanks again!

          I too caution you against expecting your 3’s and 4’s to do formal tracing activities. You need to encourage pre-writing strengthening activities to prepare their little hands and muscles for more formal writing. I highly recommend the Handwriting Without Tears program for Pre-K.

    Fun and painless way to practice letters or numbers. Mats are visually appealing. Following roll-n-write use the completed mat for a graphing activity that would make the discussion of more/same/less more concrete.

    These games are so cute! I love the kids on the Earth Day game. However, when I printed the game, the game was up too high and over to the left rather than centered in the middle. As a result, the left side and top got cut off. How do I print these so they come out centered? I could not see any print options to correct for this. Thanks for your help!
