Procedure:

Draw a tic-tac-toe board.  Players take turns rolling a die and placing the numbers thrown in one of the spaces.  The purpose of the game is to get 3 numbers in a row, column, or diagonal line that equal 10.

Example:

first player rolls 3
second player rolls 1
first player rolls 2
second player rolls 5

The second player draws a line through the winning numbers and says, "Tic-tac-ten!"  The winner places his/her initials by this board and gives her/himself a star.  The loser draws the new board and rolls first in the next game.

Variation:

Players take turns writing a number from 0 to 9 in one of the spaces on the game board.  You may only use each number once.  The first player who makes a row that adds up to 10 is the winner.
