how to play

This is a board game with cards for 2-4 players (or teams).


  • Shuffle flashcards and put in a pile face up (answer side down).
  • Take a turn by flipping a coin (heads = move 1 space; tails = move 2 spaces).
  • When you land on a square with the flower, you take a card from the top of the pile. Look at the picture clue, then say, for example: There is a fox in the box.
  • If you are right, don't move.
  • If you are wrong, move back one space.
  • The winner is the first player to reach the finish.
