PENNY-DICE GAME


Materials:
  • 10 pennies for each player
  • 1 die for each partnership or group
Number of Players:

Two (2) or more

Directions:

Partners pool their pennies to make 20.  They take turns rolling the die and picking up as many pennies as the number on the die.  To pick up the last pennies, the number on the die must match the number of pennies remaining.

The game ends when the last pennies have been picked up.  The child with the most pennies wins the round.

Option:  At the end of a round, children may flip a penny to determine whether the player with the most or least pennies will win that round.  Heads means the highest number of pennies wins; tails means the lowest number of pennies wins.
