INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLAYING THE GAME

Laminate the game boards, picture cards and cars if being used as markers.

The aim of the game is to get as many picture cards as possible.

Number of players - 2 per game board

Glue together the dice templates to make cubes and give one die to each pair of players.

Players select a car from the provided selection or use a counter as a marker.

Give a board and the 14 corresponding picture cards (with matching coloured borders) to each pair. The cards can be placed face up near the game board on the table ready for selection.

Players take turns to throw the die and make the appropriate number of moves ( in this game lowest number is the best as there are more opportunities to gain picture cards)

When the player lands on a word he/she must read the word, then look for the correct picture, select the picture and keep it to be counted at the end. A score recording sheet is provided if required. The winner is the player with the highest number of picture cards. If students are new to English, this resource would also be suitable for use with some older students.
