Language aim: learning the alphabet, food words, and making suggestions in English.
preparation
To play the game, you need a game board, a coin, a place marker for each player.
Print out a game board and markers (you can use buttons or pawns instead). If you want, you can stick the printout onto the heavy paper. Laminate for future use.
Before playing the game revise or pre-teach the names of all the items on the game board.
Our printables are in pdf format. To download them, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.
how to play
This is a board game for 2-4 players (or teams). Students take turns flipping a coin and moving along a path.
Decide who starts and who comes next.
Take a turn by flipping a coin (heads = move 1 space; tails = move 2 spaces).
You have 10 seconds to say a word related to food and eating that begins with that letter of the square you land on - or you must go back two spaces. For example, D for dinner. Let's eat dinner! Each word can be used once. If you say a word that has been used by someone else, you miss a turn.
If your answer is correct, don't move. If your answer is wrong, move back one space.
The winner is the first player to reach the finish.
