Instructions

Ask a “How many… are there...?” question

using the words or on the topic in the square

that you are on, e.g. “How many beds are

there in your house?” for “beds”, “How many

pets are there in your family?”, for “pets”,

“How many coins are there in your bag?” for

“in… bag”, or “How many plates are there in

your kitchen?” for “topic: cutlery”. Your

partner will answer with a full sentence such

as “There are three beds in my house”,

“There is only one pet in my family”, “There

are about 20 coins in my bag”, or “There are

no plates in my kitchen but there are many

plates in the dining room”. You can then

move the number that your partner said in

that answer, unless the number is over 10,

in which case you can’t move. If you

partner says “There are no…”, you also can’t

move. If you can’t move, you have to try

again with the same task when it is next your

turn.

Move anti-clockwise round and round the

board until your teacher stops the game. The

person who is ahead at that time is the

winner.
