Teacher s instructions Divide students into pairs or groups of three. Give each group a set of question and answer cards, a playing board, a dice and one counter for each student. Students put the cards in a pile face down. One student picks up the first card and asks another student the first question. If the answer is correct, the student who answered it can throw the dice and move his/her counter. If the answer is not correct, the student misses a turn and the card goes to the bottom of a pile. Students take turns to ask and answer questions. If they reach a field with a snake, they miss one turn. If they reach a field with cloverleaf, they roll the dice once more. If they land on a field with a bomb, they return to the start. The winner is the one to reach the finish first.
