Tips

To make the game even more engaging, encourage children to count the pips on the dice aloud and discuss which combinations are best. Use the scorepad to practice writing numbers. For younger players, you can simplify the scoring by focusing only on the upper section. Bee Yatzy is also a great tool for teaching turn-taking and good sportsmanship.
