- Die
- Scratch paper for each player
- Pencil for each player
- 2 or more players
What You Do:
- All players start with “0”.
- Ask the first player to roll the die and add “0” to it to find his new sum.
- Have him record his sum for the roll.
- Players should continue rolling, recording, and then passing the die and adding to their scores until one of the players reaches 50.
- When a player reaches 50, encourage then to shout, “50!” to add a little excitement to game play.
