-
Players stand opposite each other over a centre line.
-
Create another line about three paces back from each player (A volleyball court works well with the centre line and two attack lines as the back line).
-Instructions:
-
The large dice are rolled in a place where all can see (or two players can each roll their own small dice).
-
If the number is odd, one side runs behind the back line before their partners can pick up their noodle and tag them (If the partner is successful in tagging the tagged person does five jumping jacks; if the partner is unsuccessful in tagging that player does five jumping jacks).
