Cootie
Cootie
A dice game where players try to be the first to complete a “cootie”.
Ranks
LION
TIGER
WOLF
Supply List
- A six-sided die
- Blank sheets of paper, one for each player
- Pencils, one for each player
Objective
Be the first to complete a “cootie”.
Set-Up
Prepare a space where players can roll dice and draw on a piece of paper.
Directions
Each player rolls the die once and the person with the highest number goes first. The first player rolls the die and draws the body part of their cootie that is associated with that number. Cooties come in all shapes and sizes but they all have only 1 body, 1 head, 1 tail, 2 eyes, 2 antennas, and 6 legs. The player keeps rolling the die and adding to their cootie until a number is rolled that can no longer be added to their cootie. The die is passed to the next player.
For example: If the player rolls a 6, they draw an eye for their cootie. They then roll a 1 and draw an antenna. Next, they roll a 6 and they draw a second eye. On their next roll, they roll a 2 and draw the body. On their next roll, they roll a 6 again. Since a cootie only has two eyes, they cannot add another eye, so they pass the die to the next player.
Die Rolls and associated cootie parts
1 – Antenna, 2- Body, 3 – Tail, 4 – Leg, 5 – Head, 6 – Eye.
