Make a gumball game using colored pom-poms or cotton balls in a large plastic container. Give each child a plastic bag or wallet containing several pennies. Each player will roll a die and purchase a number of gumballs. Each gumball costs one penny. Play until the gumballs are gone. This can be done in small group.
