18. Domino Games
The following slides enable you to cut out the dominoes that have been used in the task. There are various domino games that you can play, you can also add more dominoes to the pack.
For example:
Game 1 The Thinking Game
Lay all of the dominoes face up. You choose which one will be your secret domino but don’t shout it out. Start giving the class clues such as “one side of the domino has twice the number of dots as the other does” or “the domino has a total number of dots less than 8″. Then encourage the student to remove all the dominoes that do not meet the criteria.
Switch players and let the student think up enough clues for you to figure out their secret number.
Game 2 – The original game of Dominoes
How to play:
Count that there are 28 dominoes, from double blank to double six.
Place them facedown on the table and shuffle them until they're random.
Allow your opponent to take seven dominoes, and take seven for yourself.
Allow the player with the highest double to go first.
Lay a domino with like value next to the first domino (it doesn't matter which end). Make sure like values are always touching.
Pick from the pile if you don't have a domino that corresponds to the ones on the layout. Keep those dominoes concealed from your opponent(s).
Pass if no more dominoes are left in the pile.
Win the session if you're the first person to run out of dominoes.
End the session if everybody passes, in which case the winner is the person with the lowest score.
Count your score by the number of dots on the tiles remaining in your hand.
End the game if someone reaches 50 points in a game with two players or 100 points with three or more players. The lowest score wins.
