| definition: |
Dice are things that we use when we play some kinds of games. Dice are often made out of wood or other hard material, and they have the shape of little boxes with square sides. Each of these sides has from one to six dots on it. In games, we throw the dice and see what number of dots appear when the dice stop moving.
Dice is a plural word. That means that we use this word when there are two or more dice. If there is only one, we call it a "die." One "die" plus one "die" equals two dice!
