PIG Dice Game
for Children

Pig Dice Game is an easy game to play. An excellent game for children who just start playing with dice and it is also a good math practice, because you have to count the total for the score.





Number of Players: 2 or more

Age Range: 4 years and older

Materials: one die and pencil and paper to keep score

How to Play:

• The goal of this game is to be the first to reach 100 points.

• The first player starts throwing the die and he can continue until he throws a 1 or until he decides to stop throwing.

When he throws the die he adds the number of the die to his total. But when he throws a 1, he loses all his points from that round. So the dilemma is to stop on time, before a 1 shows up and you lose all your new points.

• It is up to each player to decide how many times he dares to throw the die.

• Every time the player throws the die, he adds the number to his total and if he stops before the 1 falls, he can add his total to his grand total to reach 100.

• The player finishes his round by throwing a 1 or voluntarily and the next player starts his round.

• The game ends when one player reaches 100. The other players who have not yet had a turn on that round may take their final turn.

Variation:

Pig can also be played with two dice. The turn ends when one of the dice shows a 1. But when a double 1 appears, the turn ends and the player loses his points from this round, but the player gets 25 points for the double 1.Any other double, doubles the score for that throw. For example: if he throws a double 4, that will make 4 plus 4 points is 8, multiplied by 2 makes 16 points for that throw.
