Pump It Up At the petrol station, Stephen asks his players to pump some petrol. Before they start, the players name exactly how much they wanted to spend on petrol. If they can hit it exactly in no more than two pumps, Stephen's paying for the entire tank. Fall short, or go over by a single penny, and the bill is still yours.

Each player take one penny. The object of the game is to see who can get flip the penny and get the most heads in a row. You can stop at any time. Give each player 30 pennies. Player one rolls the die. Whatever you roll, put inside the bank. Player two takes a turn. Continue playing. The winner is the first player who runs out of pennies! Penny Games: Flip the Penny Player two goes and flips the penny. Player two is trying to get more “heads” in a row than player one.

The next player goes. Using our example, if they roll and one or a two they have to take all the pennies on the board except the pennies in column 6. If they roll a 3, 4, 5,or 6 they put the penny on that number. Set up the playing surface: Print the game board found here or lay out your own. The playing surface can be as small as a sheet of paper or as large as the biggest table you’ve got. Player one goes and flips the penny. If it lands on heads that counts as one time. If it lands on tails the turn is over. Player one can choose to continue to flip or stop and take the one. If player one continues, flip the coin. If it lands on heads now player one has two points. If it lands on tails player one is out of the game. Player one continues to make decisions whether to continue to risk it or freeze.

Now the whole family can play Stephen Mulhern's smash hit primetime gameshow In For A Penny wherever and whenever they like! Variations: The original Shove Ha’penny uses a different board and has some specific rules that have evolved over time. Find a neat kids’ version you can make yourself here. Player one lays a penny, heads up, flat on the table in the starting area, and uses one finger to slide it toward the other end. Pennies that slide off the board entirely do not count. Remember, you can have as many pennies as you want on the #6 column. But if there is already a penny on the 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 square you have to take all the pennies in those columns. Leave the pennies in the #6 column.
