Math doesn't have to be boring!
I have done TONS of these games - all different versions. I decided to do a Gnome theme one today because of Spring.
Have one sheet of gnomes printed on sturdy cardstock, a handful of ladybug (or any kind of) buttons, and a dice.
Each child takes turns rolling the dice, then covers that number of gnomes or mushrooms with the ladybug buttons. For example, Ethan rolls a 4. Ethan will count 4 ladybug buttons. Then he will cover 4 gnomes or mushrooms with a ladybug (one button per gnome). The game ends when all the gnomes and mushrooms are covered.
I found this print on etsy.com but you could use stickers or clipart to make your game board. The ladybug buttons are from Dress It Up and I found them at Joann.
This game works one counting, number value, one-to-one correspondence, and taking turns.
Have a fun and playful day!
