The Holy Mass Game
Materials- large die, questions about Mass
Make a die out of a large juice carton http://mssscrafts.com/crafts/creationdice.htm and
put a ? mark on some (at least 3) of the sides of the die.
Directions- The objective of the game is to be the first player to score 10 points. Have a
player roll the die on the floor in front of the class. If the die lands on a blank space, they
do not answer a question. If the die lands on “?”, they are asked a question by the teacher
about Mass. If the player answers correctly, they receive a point (you can use tokens,
write it on the board, etc.). If they are not correct, they do not receive a point. The first
player to score 10 points, is the winner.
You can play this game individually or in teams. For an added challenge, you can also
have “Lose 1 Point” and “Take 1 Point” on a side of the die. When a player rolls “Lose 1
Point”, they must lose 1 point. If a player rolls “Take 1 Point”, they may take a point
from any player they choose.
