Mouse!

can use our optional printable sheet too).

How to play
The aim of the game is to be the first to complete a
Mouse. Each roll of the die enables a particular body part to be drawn
as follows:
6 = body
5 = nose
4 = whiskers
3 = eyes
2 - ears
1 = tail
The body must be drawn before the other body parts are
added to it, so players must therefore roll a 6 to start. Once the body
has been drawn, the other parts of the mouse may be added in any order.
If you roll a number which relates to a part you have already added, you
miss your go and pass the die on.
Younger children may like to trace their mouse using
the printable page provided.
Older children may find it useful to have one copy of
the Mouse! printout in the middle of the table as a reminder for which
body part relates to which number on the die.
