How to run it

  1. In advance, visit the Resources tab to download a copy of the Print+Play Scoring Worksheet (one for each small group you plan to form.)
  2. Form teams of 4 to 6 people, sitting in a circle.
  3. Distribute a pen, one dice and a copy of the Scoring Worksheet.
  4. Ask one person in each team to volunteer to roll the dice to start the first game.
  5. Instruct this person to observe the rolled number and enter it in the ‘Roll’ column for Round 1.
  6. Then calculate the difference between the desired number (Par) and this rolled number and record this in the ‘Score’ column, eg for this first round Par = 1, so if you roll 4 you will write 3 as the score.
  7. Announce that there are no negative numbers, only a number representing the difference between the rolled and Par numbers, eg for the fifth round, the Par = 5, so if you roll 4, you will write 1 as the score.
  8. For Rounds 7 to 12, the next two people (taking turns) will roll the dice (one at a time) and add the sum of their two rolls to the Roll column and then calculate the difference from Par to determine the Score for that round.
