Rainbow Math Game

Color the Rainbow with Fruit Loops ~ Addition Math Game

Rainbows are my favorite sign of spring.  We had a few Fruit Loops left over after we made our delicious Fruit Loop Treats (if you have not tried making them, you totally should.  The kids LOVE them!)  These colorful little Fruit Loops work perfect as game pieces for our rainbow math game.

  • Place 5 red Fruit Loops on the red strip of paper.
  • Roll the 2 dice for the orange paper.  Add the numbers and place the correct number of orange Fruit Loops on the paper strip.
  • Continue until you have rolled, added and placed the Fruit Loops on each paper strip.

If your kids are not ready for addition yet, you could simply roll one dice at a time instead of 2.

    Hi, Tammy! Great math game!! What if you placed a tiny color sticker on each side of the dice to correspond to the colors of your rainbow strips? Then you could also turn this into a graphing game to see which color comes up the most, the least, if there are any equivalent sets, etc…..
