Setup Instructions 1. Print out the cover, glue it on the outside of a manila envelope and laminate the entire envelope for better durability. You will need 2 tokens and 1 die for this game. Different colored Starburst candies are great to use for tokens. When they play fairly with good behavior, they can then eat their token when the game is over. Plus, they go well with the game s theme. 2. This page is for you to print backs for the cards if you choose. Not mandatory for the game, but extra cute. 3. Cut out the game cards, laminate them, and place them in a zipper sealed bag. 4. Place the directions, common core standards sheet, game cards in the bag, and answer key all in the envelope. I like to include the common core standards for the game in the envelope. Administrators love seeing these when they come in for walkthroughs because it is like having your objectives posted, plus a reminder to the students of what they are learning.

HOW TO PLAY Place your tokens on the start square. Take the cards out of the baggy and place face down on the rectangle. You and your partner roll the die. The person with the LOWEST number goes first. The first player draws a card. Read the words at the top PAST, PRESENT, OR FUT URE. Then read the statement on the card aloud. Fill in the blank with the correct answer. Choose A, B, C, or D. Your partner will check the answer key to see if you are correct. If you are correct, roll the die and move that many spaces forward. Follow the directions on the space if there are any. Now, it s your partners turn. They do the same thing, and you check their answer. Keep playing until someone reaches the finish line. They win! Really, you all win because you are learning and having fun at the same time! Graphics by: Maree Truelove 2012@AmazingClassroom.com
