How to Play

Number of Players:

  • 2-4 players. *If a student is alone, the teacher can join.

Setup:

  • Download and print the PDF.

  • Gather around the game sheet.

  • Choose the first player and take turns in a clockwise direction.

Playing:

  1. The first player rolls the die and moves their game piece accordingly.

  2. If a player lands on a space, they must follow the instructions on that space. For example, if the space says "Jump 6 times," the player should jump 6 times safely.

  3. If a player is having a hard time completing the task on a space, others can help by giving hints!

  4. Keep playing until someone reaches or passes the "Goal." That player is the winner!

Note

  • Please prioritize safety. Remind the students to avoid any dangerous movements to prevent injuries and damage.
