Pick up cards. Copy onto card, laminate, cut onto separate playing cards.

To play:

Each player has a recording sheet Pick up cards are placed face down in the

centre of the players. Two dice are used. On dice one is written the numbers 1

(once), 2 and 3, twice and on the sixth side, ‘Pick up”. On the other there are

three happy faces (increase) two sad faces (decrease) and one exclamation mark

(miss a turn).

Each player begins the game with 10 in on their chart and for their first turn

rolls the number dice only. The player increases their 10 by the power of the

number rolled. For example, if 1 is rolled 10 remains unchanged, if 2 is rolled 10

x10 (10

) becomes 100, and if 3 is rolled 10x10x10 (10

) becomes 1000. The

player records 1000 in the Turn 1 space on their sheet.

Subsequent rolls involve both dice.
