Abstract	This simple method for simulating the Central Limit Theorem with students in a beginning nonmajor statistics class requires students to use dice to simulate drawing samples from a discrete uniform distribution. On a chalkboard, the distribution of sample means is superimposed on a graph of the discrete uniform distribution to provide visual evidence of the reasonableness of the theorem. The procedure requires less than an hour to provide a conceptual understanding of the theorem, which is necessary to learn large sample estimation and hypothesis testing procedures. The procedure can be reproduced using a microcomputer, which does not limit sample size. (CM)
