Dominoes Maths Starter – A Fun Strategy Game for Primary Students!
Get your students thinking strategically with this engaging Dominoes Maths game. It’s an exciting way to introduce concepts of space, geometry, and logical thinking.
Instructions:
- Set Up: Players take turns filling in pairs of adjacent squares on the grid, as if covering them with a domino (a 1x2 rectangle). These squares are not owned by any player.
- Objective: The goal is to claim control of squares by enclosing them. When you place a domino that completes a fence closing off a region with an odd number of squares (1, 3, 5, etc.), you get to claim those squares.
- Even Regions Don’t Count: Closing off a region of 2, 4, 6, or 8 squares doesn’t count. You can only claim regions that have an odd number of squares.
- Claiming Squares: When you close off a valid region, mark those squares as yours. Continue playing until no more dominoes can be placed.
- Winning: The player who claims the most squares by the end of the game wins.
This game is a fun and challenging way to develop spatial awareness, strategy, and logical thinking, while keeping students engaged and motivated.
