Players take turns to roll the two dice. Do calculations in addition, subtraction and multiplication each time they roll.
Naughty threes
Players throw two dices to try and get identical numbers. Each identical throw is worth specific points. The first player to score 30 wins.

Players roll two dices and add the total. In two teams they then try to flip up the dices total.
