What you need:
 
Old Calendar page
Pencil
Die
Buttons
Paper 

Number of Players: 2 or more

How to play:

Write various math directions (example: +5, x3, -2) in ten squares of the calendar.

Play from youngest to oldest.

Everyone starts with a score of zero.

Place everyone’s button on the first day of the month.

Roll the die and move that many days of the month.  (example: if you roll a five, move to the sixth day of the month.)

Now add the date you land on to your score.  (example: if you rolled a five, you’ll be on the sixth day of the month.  So your score would be, 5+6=11, your score is 11.)

If you land on a special square such as “-2”, use this number instead of the date.  (example: 5-2=3, your score is 3.)

When you get to the end of the month, you’ll start over at the beginning.

Play until the first person to reach a score of 500.

A score of 500 wins!
