How to play Shut the Box:

The winner is the player with the lowest score at the end of a round.

Each player rolls the dice until they can no longer flip up any numbers.

You can flip up any combination of tiles which equals your roll.

For Example:

• If you roll a 6 you can flip up the following tile combinations
• 6
• 5 & 1
• 4 & 2

Once you can no longer flip any tiles your turn is over.

Your score is determined by adding up the tiles still showing

The winner is the person with the lowest total score.

As an added bonus they will be "tricked" into learning addition since they cannot win without adding properly.
