Playing the Space Theme Board Game
To play the space board game, students will roll the dice and move that number of spaces on the game board. They can also spin a spinner to determine how many spaces to move or use a foam number cube.
When they land on a space, they will read the word, say the letter sound, solve the math problem, etc.
To use the game board with letters of the alphabet, you can have your students roll the dice and move to the correct space on the game board. When they land on a letter, have them say the name of the letter and the sound it makes. You could even have them tell you a word that begins with that sound. You can differentiate to meet your students’ needs.
This game board can also be used for the middle elementary grade levels too! This would be an excellent way to practice addition and subtraction facts as well as multiplication and division facts for older students. You can even use this to practice spelling and vocabulary words for older students.

- Roll a dice, move that many spaces, land on a word and read it out loud.
