Rat Trap Addition is a fun game for two players where students practice their addition skills to 20.

The aim of the game is to cover the squares around the rat to ‘trap’ it. This is a two-player game, and each player plays on their side of the board. Player One rolls the two dice and combines the numbers to find the sum. The player places a counter over the number of the sum on their side of the board. Player two has a turn, following the same process as player one.

Players continue to roll, add, and cover until they have covered all the numbers on their side of the board and ‘trapped’ their rat. That player is the winner.

Additionally, the game can be played an alternate way, whereby if a player has already covered the sum rolled on their side of the board, they may ‘steal’ a counter from the other player's board to place on their own to try and trap their rat faster.

Additional requirements are two 10-sided dice and a bunch of counters.
