How to play 

Tools:    You need dice and chips according to the number of groups you want to play with.  
Rules:  
Students take turns rolling the dice. Everytime they roll the dice they count the number of spaces in the 
game and wherever they land, they use the picture to say two sentences about it. 

The Signs  
The pirate represents a death trap. That means if you land on a pirate box you will need to go 
back to START. (VERY BAD) 
 The GO BACK sign is another trap in the game. (NOT GOOD) 
 The GO FORWARD SIGN helps you advance.(GOOD)
