28 Best Yahtzee Score Sheet Templates

1. Clear category mapping and scoring rules
Ensure all Yahtzee categories are present (ones, twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes, three of a kind, four of a kind, full house, small straight, large straight, yahtzee, chance) and include a note on how each is scored. Include a section or row that shows the upper-section bonus (35 points) if applicable to prevent confusion during play.

2. Built-in automatic calculations
Use automatic totals for the upper section, lower section, bonus, and grand total to reduce errors. Include simple validation or error indicators to catch missing scores or invalid entries.

3. Consistency and reusability
Use a uniform layout across templates (same column order, font, and spacing) so players can reuse them easily. Include fields for player name and date, and provide a printable version with clear instructions and a placeholder example.
