It’s time to roll the dice and test your mass comparison skills! In this fun, turn-based Digi-Game, students move across a vibrant board made up of mini worlds from across the Digi-Game series - racing through space, diving into oceans, climbing mountains and more!

As they make their way across the board, students are presented with a series of questions that ask them to compare two objects and decide which is heavier or lighter. These visual comparisons support the development of foundational measurement skills in an engaging, playful way.

Each correct answer lets students collect a coin from the space they land on - coins vary in size and value. The player with the highest coin total at the end of the game wins!

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Compare the mass of everyday objects using the terms heavier and lighter
• ✅ Develop early measurement language and understanding
• ✅ Strengthen visual reasoning and observation skills
• ✅ Reinforce mass concepts through repetition and game-based learning
• ✅ Engage in interactive play with clear, achievable outcomes

How to Play:

1. Students roll the dice to move their token across the themed game board.
2. When they land on a space, they’re asked to identify which of two objects is heavier or lighter.
3. A correct answer allows them to collect the coin on that space.
4. Coin values vary based on size and colour - encouraging students to aim for accuracy and consistency.
5. The game continues until all questions are answered. The player with the most valuable coin total wins.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during maths units on measurement or mass comparison
• 💡 Ideal for Year 1–3 learners developing vocabulary around mass
• 💡 Great for small group rotations or individual reinforcement
• 💡 Follow up with hands-on classroom activities comparing physical items

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired or group play
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to practise identifying heavier and lighter objects at their own pace

Let’s Roll – Mass: Heavier or Lighter? offers a fun, hands-on way to explore foundational measurement concepts while rolling, collecting and comparing all the way to victory!
