You will need a board for each player. You can download a board to print out and photocopy.
Pupils can make their own boards numbered from 1 - 36 but you should emphasise that the figures should be in the corner, not the middle, of each square.
You will also need two dice and 6 - 10 counters for each player.
There are two slightly different games.
To Play the addition game
Players place their counters as they wish onto their boards leaving the numbers showing.
The two dice are thrown and the scores added together. Players then remove one counter from the resulting number on their boards.
This is repeated until the winner has a board cleared of counters.
To Play the multiplication game
This is played in exactly the same way except that the scores on the two dice are multiplied together.
