Aim of the Game:

Be the first player to complete drawing all parts of your skull by rolling the correct totals on the dice.

What You Need:

• 2 dice
• A pencil for drawing
• Pens or crayons (optional, for decorating your skull after the game)

How to Play:

1. Each player starts with the blank skull template.
2. Make sure everyone has the “Roll a Skull” key, which shows what part of the skull can be drawn for each dice total.
3. This is a non-turn-taking game, so everyone rolls their dice at the same time. Add the numbers on both dice to find your total.
4. Check the “Roll a Skull” key to see what part of the skull can be drawn based on your total. For example, if you roll 11 , you can draw the teeth.
5. If you roll a total that corresponds to a part of the skull you’ve already drawn, roll again.
6. Keep rolling and drawing until you’ve completed your entire skull, including eyes, nose, mouth, and other features specified by the key.
