Tools: You need dice and chips according to the number of groups you want to play with.
Only give the students the first two sheets( i.e the Board Game & the question reference worksheets)
The answer sheet is for the teacher only.
Rules:
Students take turns rolling the dice. Everytime they roll the dice they advance according to the number
that shows up on the dice. When students get to a space, they refer to the question sheet.They read the
question that corresponds to the space and give a correct answer. If they cannot give a correct answer,
they loose the space and return to their previous space, while their opponent takes a turn to roll.
The Signs
This sign means students must go back to start. (not good at all for the
player)
The GO FORWARD SIGN helps you advance.(GOOD)
The GO BACK sign is another trap in the game. (NOT GOOD)
N:B – Encourage students to come up to you and ask for the answer to a question they are not sure
about the answer. However, for the teacher to give them the answer, students should ask the full
question. The teacher whispers the answer in the students ears, they go back and tell their opponent. If
students do not know the answer and do not ask the teacher, they loose the space and go back to their
previous space.
The first team to get to Finish wins.
