Collect 10 is an activity that tests students on their number recognition skills. The game is played between a pair of students, who each need to have a die. Begin the game by having the players role their die at the same time; the player with the higher number wins that match and earns a point. If the students roll and get the same number, they both get a point. The first player who earns 10 points is the winner of the game.

Start the game by having students write on the sheet of paper the numbers two through 12 . Next, have the students take turns rolling the two die and adding them together; once you add the numbers together, you can cross out that number on the sheet of paper. The winner of the game is chosen by the first player to cross out all the numbers on her sheet of paper.
