Watch this silent video to see the game being played.
Can you work out the rules?
Take turns to throw the dice and draw that number of dots in one of the boxes on the grid.
Put all of your dots in one of the boxes. You can't split them up and you can't have more than six dots in a box.
When a box is full, you could put a tick in the corner.
Keep going until there are three ticks in a row or column or diagonal.
The winner is the person who puts the last tick.
How do you decide where to put your dots?
Now, can you change the game to make your own version?
This is a great game for children to use their creativity and to work at a level at which they feel comfortable. The sophistication of their recording will change with their confidence.
When everyone has played a few times, you can change the game:
Where will you put your dots? Why?
How do you know where to put your dots?
How many more do you need to win?
