Directions: The object of the game is to be the closest to 10 without going over after fifteen turns.
Players will need to keep a running total on their paper as they play the game.
1. Decide which player will go first.
2. Player 1 says hundredths place, tenths place, or ones place, and then rolls the die.
3. The number that is rolled is written in the place named before rolling the die. A zero is written in the remaining places.
4. Player 2 says hundredths place, tenths place, or ones place, and then rolls the die.
Player 2 then records the number rolled in the place called. A zero is written in the remaining places.
5. Players continue to take turns, recording the digits rolled, until both players have taken fifteen turns.
6. Each player adds up their numbers to find their total. The player closest to ten without going over is the winner.
