Materials:
  • a regular (6-sided) die (if you don't have a die, you can use a deck of playing cards.  Use the aces and the numbers 2 through 6.  Instead of rolling the die, draw the top card from the deck.)
  • paper
  • pencil
Number of Players:

Two (2)
Object of the Game:

To make the largest number possible.
Directions:

Each player draws 4 blank lines on a sheet of paper to record the numbers that come up on the rolls of the die.

Player A rolls the die and writes the number on any one of his or her 4 blanks.  It does not have to be the first blank--it can be any of them.  Keep in mind that the larger number wins!  Then Player B rolls the die and writes the number on one of his or her blanks.

Players take turns doing this 3 more times each.

Each player then uses the 4 numbers on his or her blanks to build a number.  The numbers on the first 3 blanks are the first 3 digits of the number the player builds.  The number on the 4th blank tells the number of zeros that come after the first 3 digits.  Each player reads his or her number.  The player with the larger number wins the round.

Example:

Player A wins.
