Put a sticker on all sides of a wooden block/cube. The children will have a sheet of paper lined off to show columns. Put each of the six stickers at the bottom of a column. Children will roll dice to see which sticker they roll the most of in 10 minutes. As they roll a certain sticker, the children should put an X beside the sticker they rolled.
