To play the game, start by sharing your screen in your virtual classroom. If you are teaching face-to-face, project the board game on your whiteboard.

To start the game, press the Roll the Dice! button and move each player’s counter accordingly.

Each player moves incrementally around the board. If a player lands on a ? square, they should answer the question in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Click on the Answer button to reveal the correct answer to the question. If you press the Roll the Dice! button again, the question will change and the answer automatically hides from view.

Each square is programmed to change after each turn. The majority of squares will display ?, prompting the player to answer the question which is displayed in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. However, there is the possibility that each square could display these commands: Roll again, Go back 1 space, Go back 2 spaces, Go back 3 spaces, Go back 4 spaces, Go back 5 spaces, Go forward 1 space, Go forward 2 spaces, Miss a turn, Start again, and Relax. When a player lands on a square with a command, they should act accordingly.

The aim of the game is for players to move from Start to Finish. The first player to reach the Finish square is declared the winner.
