Have You Played...?

Walmart

We're getting ready for our annual Valentine's Day Party with the H.O.G. Chapter and one of our favorite games is LCR (Left, Center, Right).  Have you played it?  If not, you should try it.  LCR is a fun game that everyone in the family can play and it is great for teaching young children the difference between left, right and center!!!

The rules are fairly simple: each person is given 3 chips (or you can substitute pennies, quarters or dollars which ups the ante)!  Each person then rolls the 3 dice and if you roll an "L" you give a chip to the person on your left; if you roll a "C" a chip goes to the center of the table; if you roll "R" you give a chip to the person on your right.  If you roll a dot..you keep a chip.  The game continues even if you give away all your chips because at some point the person to your left or right may have to give you a chip!!  If you have less than 3 chips, you roll the same number of dice as the chips you have, IE. 1 chip means you roll 1 die.  The winner is the last person left with chips (if you use money then the winner takes ownership of the pot that collected in the middle)!!

LCR gets pretty competitive especially when you use money!!  I love the fact you can carry this game with you anywhere...it comes in a tin or a tube and can be found at your local Walmart!!

So...next time you're with a group of friends...pull out LCR and let the fun begin!!!!  Teacher friends..stay tuned, I have a post coming about LCR in the classroom!!!!
