Advanced Subject Verb Agreemet

Based on the worksheet by "dobrawaa" this board game should be used by 4 players to have an optimal experience.

To play this game you need to 2 dices and 4 small objects of the same colour for each player.

The objective of the game is to take the 4 pieces from your circle to the line of your colour in the middle, to do this you must place one of the objects on the starting arrow, roll the dices and advance the number of spaces obtained on the roll, each time a player lands on a space he/she has to say a sentence with the words written in that space, if the player fails s/he has to go back to his/her previous space, when you've moved through the entire board you get to access your own line, you win by getting your 4 objects to the line.

If you get the same number on both dices you can roll them again or move one of your objects outside the game into the board.

If another player lands into the same space occupied by an earlier player, the second player has to give a sentence with the words on the space, if the second player is correct the first player has to move his object from the board to his/her starting circle.

The small circle in the middle of the board is a shortcut, players can land on it by getting the exact number, if they are on the starting arrow they would need to roll a 5 to access the shortcut, to get out of the shortcut you need to roll snake eyes (1 & 1) or (6 & 6),  so the risk-benefit is quite high; if another player lands on the shortcut the first player is removed from the board and needs to roll the same numbers on the dices to get a new object on the board.



To make it easier to print in black and white printers each color has a different texture so that teachers can easily and unexpensively photocopy it.
