how to play

This is a game for 2-4 players (or teams). Kids move along the game track that is made of both task and wild cards. The task cards are double-sided and self-checking, with the grammar task on one side, and the answer on the reverse.

Shuffle task and wild cards. Make your own game course by placing the cards face up (answer side down) on the floor or table.
Students roll the dice and land on a card.
If it is a wild card, they follow the instruction, e.g. Miss a turn, Sing an English song.
If it is a task card, they use the pictures and words on it to make a sentence, for example, The dragon is in the wagon.
Then he or she checks the answer by flipping the card.
Each correct answer gains one point. The student with the most points wins the game.

preparation

Print out task and wild cards. 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.
Before playing the game revise or pre-teach the names of all the items on the task cards.
You will need a place marker for each player and a dice to play the game. If you would like to make your own paper markers, you can use our colourful templates.
