Roll the dice and move around the game board, which features mini worlds taken from the other digi-games. From deep jungles to icy peaks, each space offers students a new challenge and the chance to boost their score. The more correct answers you get, the more opportunities there are to earn points. Game on!

In this version, students locate coloured pencils on a grid map by identifying their correct grid coordinates. By reading the rows and columns carefully, students develop confidence using simple coordinate systems—building essential skills in map reading, spatial awareness, and positional language.

Let’s Roll – Pencil Grid Coordinates is ideal for Year 2–4 students learning to describe locations using grid references. It’s a great addition to your maths or geography unit, perfect for rotations or independent learning using the QR code for a fun, visual way to practise coordinates.
