First to 100 Dice Game

Items Needed / Set Up

A blank piece of paper for each player, one pencil, and one die

How to Play the Game

Players sit around a table and take turns rolling the die. The first player to roll a 6 grabs the pencil and starts writing 1, 2, 3, and so on, up to 100 as fast as they can. Meanwhile, the die gets passed to the next player, and the next player, etc. Each time a player rolls a 6, they take the pencil and start writing. The first player to get to 100 wins.

Tips and Tricks

  • There is only one pencil
  • You have until the next 6 is rolled to get as far as you can
  • The next time you roll a 6 and get the pencil, you pick up where you left off and continue as fast as you can
