Multiplication Dice Race

This is a fun way to review basic multiplication facts. We used a 12-sided number dice (1-12) as one factor and two regular dice added together as another factor. We could have used two 12-sided dice. Then we shook the three dice and multiplied the factors together. Here's what we did to make it fun. We set a timer for one minute, and each girl took a turn shaking the dice, multiplying the factors, and calling out the product. The object was to see how many they could get in one minute. 
Variation
Shake the dice, and everyone multiplies the products at the same time. The first one to call out the correct product wins.
