Abstract: A game is provided particularly for use by children in which a series of paddles can be moved from a first position into a second position according to the roll of dice. The object is to flip as many paddles over as possible before the player rolls a number with the dice that cannot be matched by a number on a paddle, or a sum of the numbers on the paddles, at which point the player is given a limited time to make as many words as he can from the letters which are exposed on the backside of the paddles as they lie in their second position. This develops in the child, and in the adult for that matter, the abilities of both spelling and simple addition.
