Description

Roll the dice and let the adventure begin! In this exciting digital game, students move around a colourful board made up of mini worlds inspired by other Digi-Games. With every correct answer, they collect coins of different colours and values, adding to their final score. The more questions they get right, the more chances they have to win!


This version focuses on Friends of 20. Students are presented with an addition equation that includes a missing number, and they must identify the number needed to complete the sum to equal 20. It’s a great way to build fluency with number bonds and strengthen mental addition strategies.


Who will collect the highest-value coins and win the game?


Key Learning Outcomes:

  • ✅ Recall number bonds that make 20 (Friends of 20)
  • ✅ Identify missing addends in basic addition equations
  • ✅ Strengthen early number sense and mental computation
  • ✅ Develop fluency with foundational addition facts
  • ✅ Engage in meaningful maths practise through interactive gameplay

How to Play:

  1. Students roll the dice and move their token across the themed game board.
  2. When they land on a space, they answer a question by selecting the number that completes the addition to make 20.
  3. A correct answer allows them to collect the coin on that space - coin values vary based on colour and size.
  4. Occasionally, a special event may occur to add extra fun to the round.
  5. Players continue circling the board until all questions are completed. The player with the highest total coin value wins!
