Congratulations on your purchase! Multisided GripDotDice may be used in counting activities, selecting turns, deciding how many repetitions to do, deciding which activity or station to go to next and in many other phases of the physical education curriculum.

1 � Add the dice together to get your number, OR
2 � Subtract the lower number from the higher, OR
3 � Multiply the dice together, OR
4 � Add the dice and if it�s odd you�(one movement/activity), if it�s even you�(the other movement/activity).

Game 1
Two players roll dice. If it comes up an even number, player A is �it� and runs to tag player B. If it comes up with an odd number, player B is �it� and runs to tag Player A.

Game 2
Two or more players roll the dice. If it comes up on their number, they are �it� and run to tag any of the other players.

Game 3
Two teams face each other in parallel lines. The teacher rolls the dice between them. If the dice come up odd, one team runs away to their line (10 yards away), while the other team chases and tries to tag them. If the dice come up even, the other team runs away and the odd team tries to tag them.
