A VMI board is my Visual-Motor Integration game board. It’s made on 18′x18′ white oaktag. Buy some blank dice here:

and scrounge some player pieces (incomplete chess sets make wonderful pieces; so do the tops of depleted markers, milk jug caps, even small white bathroom tiles).
Mark the 6 sides of one die as follows: R, L, U, D, C, C (Right, Left, Up, Down, Choice, Choice). Children place their player marker in the center of the board. When the child rolls the die, that is the direction they move one space. Then they have to draw that design on their paper. Advanced version: Have the children draw that design on a nearby table, enhancing visual memory.
