Free Printable Easter Roll and Cover (no-prep preschool math activity)

61 shares
  • Share

These free printable Easter roll and cover games are a fun, no-prep preschool math activity.

Your little learner will also receive fine motor practice while covering the numbers and even some gross motor movement, too, if you use the included free printable numeral inserts for a differentiated instruction cube.

This free preschool math activity for Easter is virtually prep-free. Download them and your child will be having fun (and learning) in just a few minutes.

For more Easter themed preschool math fun, be sure to grab these Easter count and clip cards, Easter count and graph worksheets, and Easter number building puzzles.

Four free printable Easter roll and cover mats for preschoolers. The mats each have 12 images and each image has a number 1-6. The numbers are repeated twice on each mat. The mats are shown on a blue background with colorful children's markers.

There are four different Easter designs to keep your child interested and engaged. Images include chocolate bunnies, chickens, eggs, and Easter baskets.

How to print and use roll and cover mats

This set of roll and cover mats includes a bonus free printable numeral die template and numeral gross motor cube inserts.

You don’t need a differentiated instruction cube to play, but it adds movement to the game. Movement can assist learning and get preschool wiggles out, so a cube makes a great addition to this activity. The numerals, instead of dots, can also help younger children play and use these as a number matching game. Children frequently can recognize a numeral before they can consistently count to a number.

Of course, counting pips on a die is great counting practice and develops skills your child needs, too. Feel free to use a “normal” die, instead.

This list of materials may seem like a lot, but it really isn’t. I like to give explanations and alternatives. You probably already have everything you need at home.

Materials needed:

  • Your free printable roll and cover mats. The printable die template and gross motor cube inserts are included in the same PDF. The download is located lower in the post.
  • Printer and paper. I recommend 32 lb bright white paper. It’s more durable than standard printer paper and is brighter for nicer images. See this post on the best paper for printables for a side-by-side comparison of printouts on several papers and cardstocks.
  • Laminator and pouches, optional but recommended.
    • You can also use secure page protectors. We use these heavy duty “secure” page protectors with a flap to keep the page inside whenever I don’t feel like laminating.
  • Scissors and/or paper trimmer. I use this paper trimmer.
  • Manipulatives to cover the numbers.
    • Math cubes, counting bears, and pompoms work well.
    • You can also mark numbers off with markers, crayons, etc. We love Stabilo Woody wax crayons instead of dry erase markers. No stink and no ink to stain everything!
  • Tongs, optional. Your child can place manipulative with tongs or large plastic tweezers for an added fine motor challenge.
    • This set of math bears we use comes with tongs and a numeral die.
  • Differentiated instruction cube (also called a gross motor cube). optional, or dice.
    • For “regular” dice, I recommend large soft dice if you have little ones at home who are still placing things in their mouths.
  • Glue or tape, if you’re making your own die with the printable template.

A free printable Easter roll and cover mat for preschoolers. The mat has 12 pink Easter eggs and each egg has a number 1-6 printed on it. Two numbers are covered with round purple candies. More candies are on a blue surface beside the mat.

How to print and prepare roll and cover mats:

Download your PDF from lower down in the post.

Print the pages you want. There are four different roll and cover mats. Each one has the numbers 1-6 twice per page. The last three pages of the PDF are for the printable dice. Two pages are differentiated instruction cube inserts, one page is a die template to cut and assemble.

Laminate the roll and cover game boards or slip them in page protectors. This is what we do just to make the activity easier and faster to put together. Do not laminate the die template pieces.

Cut the differentiated instruction cube cards and slide them in to your cube, if using. Officially, the opposite faces of a six-sided die always add up to 7, like you see in this printable die template:

A printable die template to cut out and assemble. Instead of dots, each face has numerals.
Note: don’t print this image! It’s low resolution and will look terrible. Please use the page in the free PDF.

If you’re using the printable die, cut it along the solid lines. Fold the tabs in and assemble. I recommend using Tacky Glue on the tabs and tape along all the outside edges to improve durability.

Play! Play is simple – a player rolls the die, then finds and covers the appropriate number if one is still available on their card. Because there are four designs, multiple children can play together. If you’re using a traditional die, you can count the pips aloud with your child.

The mat shown below is not laminated just to make photos easier – I always laminate these mats or place them in a page protector before actually playing with them. The mat is shown with my daughter’s favorite counting dinos and the tongs from this set of counting bears. The wood numeral die is also from the counting bear set. My daughter prefers to play with the gross motor cube, but it casts a gigantic shadow in pictures.

Play ends when all the spaces are covered. Luckily, this set includes four different designs so your child can play again and again! (My daughter seems endless entertained by these mats, especially when we use the gross motor cube.)

For an added fine motor challenge, have your child use tongs to place their manipulative over the number.
