Fun ways to play the dice game with ten dice - Tenzi!

 After buying this game and playing it with my preteens, I really enjoyed it!  And I realized it could be played SOOO many different ways!  So, I've created a few on my teachers pay teachers store so I could share them with other educators.  Each costs $1.25, and if you buy all 5 you pay for 4 and get one free!  Three are religious - parable review, Bible stories, and Christmas; and two are holidays - Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving (both non religious).  

You can play a variety of different ways.  We played in our family - all four of us - with 10 dice each and competed one card at a time.  So, with 10 cards in each deck, you can have 10 winners.  Another way to play, is to print out all ten cards for each person, and race through them!  Who can finish first?

If you are playing in your class, you can form small groups and compete one on one in your small groups.  Or, you can form pairs and the pairs compete against each other (either all at once, or one pair vs another pair).  Instead of each person getting 10 dice, each person in the pair gets 5 dice to roll.  Then, you just follow the directions as normal.

Another way to play, would be to form small groups of 4 and divide up the dice so each person has 2-3.  This would make it more difficult when the directions involve different numbers being rolled.  They would need to communicate!  

If you're playing online together, have them collect their own 10 dice, or deliver to them each person in your group (or maybe they can pick them up somewhere?).  You can then read the card and it's directions and they compete one on one at their own homes.  

There are so many variations!  If you think of another way to play, comment below!  One other way to play - if you buy all of my packs (10 cards in each pack), you can combine them together and deal them out to people so that they have a variety of themes to play with and no one has the same cards.

Here are the 5 that I have created so far:

Thanksgiving (not religious) - This is purely fun and interesting facts about turkeys and Thanksgiving!

Christmas Story (religious) - These cards all have either a fact or question about the Christmas story found in Luke 2.  If there is a question, they have to answer it correctly first and then do the rolling.

Valentine's Day (not religious) - This is similar to the Thanksgiving game in that it is fun facts that you probably didn't know about Valentine's Day! :)  

Bible Stories - This version has 10 cards that reference different (random) Bible stories.  As in the Christmas story, some cards are questions that have to be answered, and others just have facts.

Parable Review - Is your class learning about the parables?  This is a fun way to review them at the end!  Each card references a parable and asks a question (or gives a direction to follow).

Can you think of other Bible stories or ways to play?  Share below!
