Browsing the web I found some quetions from an italian school experimentig WeDo (ref the italian site http://trilussa.primocircolopinerolo.it/egw/wiki/index.php?page=DancingBirds)
One of the question is how is the range of the number in the pseudo-random input. Actually the answer is from 1 to 10 (is in the Teacher Guide of the activity pack page 41).
This is not interesting in itself infact they worked with the children to find the solution and on way is to try to "launch" the WeDo dice with a program like the one showed in this post.
Another idea to stimulate children on the subject is to ask them if the wedo dice is like a real one (6 faces dice) the answer is obviusly not but what is interesting is that exists real dices from 1 to 10 and the children can also build one !
See for example http://www.korthalsaltes.com/es/model.php?name_en=decahedron
Here you find a model that you can print cut and build (Note the site is copyrighte but is explicitly said material can be used if not for commercial reason, so scholo sand home can use it).
This case is interesting because shows how from a question that seems simple an entire universe open just trying to find the answer.
Feel free to use the idea here and leave a comment if you tried.
