School's been out for a month; seems like a year to the kids. If you haven't the heart (or the stomach) to make them practice those math skills, how about a game that the whole family can enjoy? Yes, they will enjoy it, even if it means putting down the Wii-mote for a while, because kids love games they can win, they love interacting with each other and with you, and they love dice.
This game is easier than Yahtzee, uses five dice, and is all about luck. So anyone can play, and anyone can win.
No workbooks, no answer sheet, no fussing or whining. Just some good family interaction and easy addition and subtraction.
Playing the multiplication variation of this game gives practice in multiplication and in problem-solving as players must make strategic decisions regarding combinations of dice.
