Read a line of dominoes as numbers, write them down, then mix them up and put them back in order.

Domino Number Challenge
  1. Choose two dominoes and place them next to each other in a line on the table.

    Treat each domino as two separate numbers and write the number on a piece of paper.

  3. Now, using the numbers on the paper, can you put the dominoes back in the original order again?

  4. If that was a bit easy, you can make it more challenging:

    Line up three dominoes, and write down all of the numbers in order.

  5. Mix them up just like before, but this time add in a handful of extra dominoes.

  6. Now, find the right dominoes to match the numbers.

    You can easily make this into a game.

    Put a few dominoes in a line, write the numbers down, and mix up the dominoes.

    Then, challenge a friend to find the dominoes and put them in the right order.
