VARIATIONS OF THE USUAL GAME
- CHALLENGE Shut Box - for 1 to any number players
Goal - Shut all the numbers in the box (using all 4 rows)
In this version, each person plays their entire round and gets a final score before passing it on to the next person. Lowest score wins.
-Roll the dice. Now make the sum flipping any number of tabs from any rows that add up to the sum. Thus, if I rolled a 6 and 6 = 12. Then I could flip a 5 from one row, a 2 from another, a 3 from another , and a 1 from the last row (assuming these were available). Or anything from any row(s) that adds to 12.
-Continue this process until the box is either “Shut” (all numbers flipped) or you get stuck and cannot flip the target number. In this case, you must add all remaining numbers in all rows to get your final score.
MULTIPLICATION VARIATION on this game: When you roll the dice, you must multiply the dice to get your target score.
Thus if I roll a 6 and 6, my target score would be 6 x 6 =36. If I roll a 2 and 4, then my target roll would be 2 x 4 = 8. This variation is excellent in developing basic math skills for students beginning to learn multiplication.
