Speedy Eight

2 players. You need a dice, two colours, a printed grid.

Before you begin: Each player writes a list of 8 numbers between 1 and 50 for the other player to find.

To begin: roll the dice to decide who is the active player first. The highest goes first.

To play: The active player looks for any of their eight numbers, using three numbers as described above, and colours them in on the grid. Once a tile has been used it cannot be used again.

The other player rolls the dice until they roll a six. When they roll a six, they become the active player. The first person to find all eight of their numbers wins.
