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.)
Form teams of 4 to 6 people, sitting in a circle.
Distribute a pen, one dice and a copy of the Scoring Worksheet.
Ask one person in each team to volunteer to roll the dice to start the first game.
Instruct this person to observe the rolled number and enter it in the ‘Roll’ column for Round 1.
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.
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.
Taking turns and progressing to the left around the circle, each person rolls the dice and repeats these steps for each consecutive Rounds 2 to 6, recording their Roll and the Score on the group’s worksheet.
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.
Continuing around the circle, the next two people roll the dice for Rounds 8 through 12, repeating the process described above.
When all 12 Rounds have been rolled, tally the numbers recorded in the Score column.
The team with the lowest total Score wins.
