Rocco's Five in a Row: Add 1 or 2

Rocco the raccoon brings first graders a game of Five in a Row. Students flash two dot cubes and say how many they see, then add 1 or 2 to each number card by counting on, and choose whether adding 1 or adding 2 lands on the number that finishes the row. Every direction is read aloud, and every wrong answer gets a spoken hint. About 10 minutes.
