Remember: Continue taking turns until one player reaches the Finish. The first player to land on it and correctly answer the question wins. Then it is Player 2 s turn to roll the die and answer a question. Player 2 takes a question card and reads it aloud to Player 1. Player 1 tries to answer the question. If Player 1 is correct, he or she stays on the current square. If Player 1 is incorrect, he or she must go back to the square they were on at the beginning of the turn. Player 1 rolls the die and moves the correct number of spaces. If the player lands on a square with directions, follow the directions. Each player rolls the die to determine who will go first. The player with the higher number is Player 1. The player with the lower number is Player 2. Begin by setting the markers on Start.
