Roll a Goober: a dice drawing game

Roll a die five times: once each for the body, eyes, mouth, extras and crust. Then draw the Goober you rolled. No two games make the same Goober.

Ways to play

  • Classroom: everyone rolls the same five numbers, then compares how different their Goobers look.
  • Family night: each player rolls for the person on their left.
  • Pass the paper: one person draws the body, the next adds the eyes, and so on.
  • Name game: when everyone is done, swap drawings and name each other's Goobers.
