Addition game: 3 in a row with dice

Here is a great little game to play which also helps with addition of numbers.

You need two dice, two sets of coloured counters (red and blue, or similar) or coloured cubes and a calculator to check answers in the case of a dispute!

Decide who is to go first (we usually let the younger person) and they roll the two dice and add up the total. Look at the playing board and lay a coloured (red) counter on the board over the number.

Then player two has their turn, placing a blue counter on the board.

The aim of the game is to get a run of three of your counters in a row, either across, down or diagonally.

If there is no number available for that shown on the total of the dice, play goes straight to the next player.

You may like to make extra rules up for yourself. For example, if the total is incorrectly added it could give a free go to the other person (hence the calculator to check).
