I play a game against the pupils where they choose a dice, I then choose one and we roll at the same time, with the higher score winning. Pupils note that it is impossible to get a draw.

If we play 10 or so games it is very likely that I will win if I choose correctly. The pupils then usually want to choose the die I had used, so I pick a different one and can win in the long run. The same thing happens again with a different choice.
