Print out a game board and cards. If you want, you can stick the printout onto the heavy paper. Laminate for future use.
Cut out the individual cards, fold them and glue. Learn more how to prepare our cards (pdf). They are double-sided with tasks on one side and colourful patterns on the other.
Before playing the game revise or pre-teach the names of all the items on the playing cards.

how to play
This is a board game with cards for 2-4 players (or teams).
Shuffle task cards and put in a pile face down.
Take a turn by flipping a coin (heads = move 1 space; tails = move 2 spaces).
When you land on a square with the stars, you take a card from the top of the pile, then read and follow the instructions (use actions to describe the words). For example: Touch your neck! - you have to touch your neck; Be an elephant! - mime the way the elephant walks.
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.
