We did a version of this game at Family Math Night this year. It was one of our most popular games. It is adapted from https://mathforlove.com/lesson/fill-the-stairs/. When we did it at the school we used:
To play this at home, you will need:
How to play the game: 1) On the ladder/stairs, label the bottom step 0 and the top step 70 with paper pieces. 2) Roll two dice (or one die twice). From those rolls, you have two possible numbers. For example, if you rolled a 4 and a 1, you could have the number 41 or 14. Decide which one you want and write it on a piece of paper. 3) Place that piece of paper on a step. Once you place a number, you cannot move it later. 4) If you are playing alone, roll again and follow the same steps. Your goal is to fill the steps/ladder with numbers, in order, from 0 to 60. If you roll and cannot place it on a step because it would be out of order, then you have lost. You win when all the steps are labeled in order.
5) If you are playing with more than one person, take turns rolling the dice and placing numbers on the steps. If a player rolls and cannot place a number, then they lose a turn. The winner is the last person to place a number on a step and successfully fill the steps/ladder. (Note, if you don't have any dice, get 12 pieces of paper and write the numbers 1 through 6, twice each, on the paper and put them in a hat. Then pull out two pieces of paper to figure out your number) This was a fun and busy game at math night. It proved to be a tough game to win. In 1.5 hours, there were only 5 winners. Have fun!
