This game is an old favourite. I used to play it when I was at school! It is good as a mental maths or early finishers task. They will be working on area, perimeter, addition and multiplication, all in one game!
Area Dice Game
- A game for 2 or 3 players.
- Each player chooses a colour pencil or texta they will use in the game.
- Players take turns rolling the dice, using the numbers that they rolled to draw the perimeter of a rectangle or square & writing the area in the middle of the shape.
- Game ends when players run out of room to draw.
- Winner is the player who has used the largest area/most squares.
To make it War
When for four consecutive rolls neither person can draw an area of land that fits, WAR Begins.
Roll both dice and the perimeter of a shape with these dimension makes the distance of the bomb
The bomb is launched from that distance from your land and try on land on the oppositions land.
If successful, role the two dice again to find the area of the explosion and destroy appropriately.
