How Students Play the Game
Students follow a clear set of steps while playing:
1. Roll and Move
Students roll a die and move their game piece around the clover-shaped board.
2. Identify the Space
When students land on a space, they read the word or identify the letter or number shown.
3. Record and Trace
Students record their answer on the recording sheet by tracing the item they landed on. Each turn adds another trace to their sheet.
4. Fill the Recording Sheet
Students continue playing until they have filled their entire recording sheet. This repetition helps reinforce the targeted skill in a fun, low-pressure way.
