Choose nine answers, roll two dice and cross off what you make.
Two dice; Bingo boards or paper; Two pencils
Each player fills a bingo board with nine different numbers that two dice could make.
Take turns to roll both dice and multiply the two numbers.
Say the whole fact out loud, like four sixes are 24. Cross it off if it is on your board.
The first player to cross off a line of three calls bingo.
Dice are small enough to choke on. Keep them away from babies and toddlers and put them away after the game.
Which numbers can two dice never make?
Read out any numbers left on your board and the facts that would make them.
Roll one die and multiply it by 2, 5 or 10 each time.
Swap the dice for playing cards from 1 to 10 and make a board up to 100.
