Beat That!
This is an easy game to learn, but one which is very popular with kids (this game has a side affect of being math also.)
Equipment:
Paper and pencil for scoring, or a child on each team that has a phone/calculator.
How to play
Roll the dice and put them in order to make the highest number possible. If you roll a 4 and an 6, for example, your best answer would be 64. Using 3 dice, a roll of 3, 5 and 2 should give you 532, and so on. Write down your answer, pass the dice, and challenge the next team to Beat That!
You will need to set how many times a team is rolling then alternate between boys and girls. Ad up all the roles and the team with the most wins that round.
For a change, try making the smallest number possible! This is a great game for reinforcing the concept of place value. If you are playing with younger children, explain your reasoning out loud and encourage them to do the same.
