My kids love to play this fun game. The only materials needed a pair of dice for the teacher and a sheet of paper for each student. Oh, and an overhead projector is helpful too.

So, let’s say the game has just started and the teacher rolls a 6 and a 5. The students would record an 11 under the ‘S’ and then make a decision. Do they remain standing for a second roll and take the chance that one or two 1’s are rolled? Remember if one 1 is rolled all ‘S’ points will be lost. Mathematical probabilities use percentages. For example, when a meteorologist says “you can expect a 70% chance for thunderstorms,” that is a probability. They are speaking in mathematical probabilities. This is done by more than just meteorologists, too. Explore other fun mathematical probability examples. There is a 20% chance of rain.

Begin by having each student draw a game board on their own sheet of scrap paper like the one pictured below. I usually have students fold the paper hot dog and then hamburger style. Once folded, open the paper back up and draw a game board in each section that was created by the folds. This creates four game boards, because when we play, we will play at least 4 rounds.

Once game boards are drawn, you are ready to roll…literally! Okay…let’s play!
Instruct everyone to stand because the ‘S’ round is beginning. When the ‘S’ round begins no one has any points so everyone should stand because they have nothing to lose. The teacher rolls the dice (project the dice up on the screen using the overhead projector). The students tally the two dice numbers together and record the total under the ‘S’.
****UNLESS ONE OF THE DICE IS A 1!!!****
If one of the dice lands on a 1, no points are recorded in the ‘S’ column and everyone moves to the ‘K’ round.
And, if ****BOTH DICE ARE ONES**** (more on that in a minute!)
So, let’s say the game has just started and the teacher rolls a 6 and a 5. The students would record an 11 under the ‘S’ and then make a decision. Do they remain standing for a second roll and take the chance that one or two 1’s are rolled? Remember if one 1 is rolled all ‘S’ points will be lost. Panda run game. Or, do they sit down and ‘lock’ in the 11 points they earned on the first roll? Give the students a few seconds to decide what they would like to do. Some will remain standing and some will sit (once a student sits, they must remain sitting until the round is over). Okay, the students have decided and locked in their decision (either sitting or standing). Let’s say the second roll in the ‘S’ round is a 3 and a 5. Those who chose to stay standing would record 8 under the 11. Once again, those standing need to decide if they want to continue playing or sit to lock in their points. The ‘S’ round continues until either a 1 is rolled or no students are willing to risk losing their points and sit down. Once the ‘S’ round is complete, everyone that was sitting, has the opportunity to stand back up and the ‘K’ round begins. You may have some students that don’t stand at the start of the ‘K’ round because they don’t want to lose the points they earned in the ‘S’ round…AND THAT IS THE FINAL TWIST…

If TWO 1’s are rolled at any point of the game, any student standing loses ALL points accumulated in all the rounds played up until that point!!

It is important to remind students that If they choose to sit during a ‘letter’ round, they can not stand back up until the round is over and play moves to the next letter. Likewise, they need to either stand ALL the way up or sit ALL the way down. No half ways, bailing on their choice once the dice are rolled.
The game ends after all 5 (s,k,u,n,k) rounds are played. Students tally their points and the player with the highest total is given the opportunity to roll the dice if they’d like–we didn’t always have that as the reward…but…a few kids thought my dice rolling abilities were cursed (too many ones) and asked that someone else roll, lol!
I always find this game interesting to watch…some kids are very conservative and others throw caution to the wind and gamble every time! As we play we talk about what the chances are I’ll roll a one…two ones…etc.
Random Chance Games
I’m not sure there is a great deal of educational value (other than a little probability and addition) but we sure do have fun. It’s perfect for a 10-15 minute time-filler or indoor recess. Fair warning…it can get a bit loud, especially when a few ‘gamblers’ lose a boatload of points with the appearance of the ‘snake eyes’!
