This game teaches children to think about what numbers they could make using their dice roll.  \nAge range: 6th Grade+  \nNumber of players: 1-4  \nLearning: Add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers 1 to 6; negative numbers You will need  \n- Each player will need a set of their own color counters:  \no 2 player game – 14 counters each ; 3 player game – 10 counters each  \no 4 player game – 7 counters each  \n- Three dice  \nInstructions  \n- Take turns to throw the 3 dice.  \n- Use the numbers on the dice and your +, - , x and ÷ skills to make one of the numbers on an uncovered star.  \n- Cover the star up with one of your counters – you have caught it!  \n- If you can’t make a number on one of the uncovered stars, or if you get the answer wrong, you give the dice to the next player.  \n- The winner is the player who has covered (or ‘caught’) the most stars when all the stars are covered up.  \nExample: If you roll a 3, 4, and a 5 you could cover up:  \n-2 [5-4-3], 2 [3 + 4 – 5], -3 [(4 – 5) x 3], -7 [ 5 –(4 x 3)], etc.  \nVariations (if you feel like changing the rules!)  \n- If you are playing this game on your own, see how many numbers you can cover up in a given time limit.  \n- Alternative winning strategy: the first player to cover up 4 consecutive numbered stars (e.g. -3, -2, -1 and 0) is the winner.  \n- Play the game with three eight-sided dice or ten-sided dice brings in a wider range of number skills.  \n- Score 10 points for a negative-numbered star and 5 points for a positive-numbered star. The winner is the player with the highest score at the end.  \nCaptain Salamander has asked you to catch as many stars as you can for him to put in his rocket.
