Tic-tac-toe dice game

This game is a fun exercise that you can use without preparation.

You play this game with two players. Players must draw a tic-tac-toe grid on a piece of paper. The teacher rolls the dice centrally on the board (or the student does it on their own device). They take turns entering the number of the die into one of the boxes on the grid. The first player to make 10 either horizontally, diagonally, or vertically is the winner.
