What You Need for Bat Dice

You will need one dice per player. We love to play so that everyone has their own colour of dice. Everyone’s rolling at the same time in this game so different coloured dice not only makes it more fun but also helps keep track of whose dice is whose. If you need more dice, you can see the selection here. (Canadians here.)

You will also need a scoresheet.

Playing Bat Dice

First, you need to remember that bats use echolocation to help them find things.

To play, everyone rolls their dice at the same time. You are looking to find a matching bat using your echolocation. If you match another player, then you high five because you’ve found a match. Each of you get one point.

The orange and green players both get a point.

If there are more than two players that match, only the first pair to see and high five get the point.

There can be more than one matching pair per roll.

After the points are scored, everyone rolls again and tries to find another match.
