Perfect activity for any children learning their times tables. All you need is two players, a dice and two counters. Choose which times tables they want to use and when they roll the dice, they multiply the dice number by their times table. If the answer is in the first row of their side of the pitch they can move into it. If not, it’s the other players turn. First player to get their counter across each row to their partners goal and then rolls an even number, wins!!
