How to Play:
• This is a game for two players.
• One player (Odd Todd) must try to roll as
many odd numbers as they can and the other
player (Even Steven) must roll as many even
numbers as they can.
• Decide who will be Odd Todd or Even
Steven.
• Take it in turns to roll a dice. If you roll a
number you need, then you can colour in a
stepping stone. For example, Odd Todd can
only colour in a stone when they roll an odd
number.
• If you are the first to colour in all of your
stepping stones, you win the game!
