The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach square 100.

Set up

Split the students into groups of 2-4. You will need one dice and one board per group and one counter per student.

How to play?

Place the counters next to square one. Each child takes it in turn to role the dice. The highest role goes first. The order of play continues in a clockwise direction. If a student lands at the foot of a ladder or the head of a snake, he or she must make a sentence using the key words at the top and bottom of the snake or the ladder. If he or she makes a mistake then he or she should miss a go. Remember players go up ladders and down snakes!!!

Target language

The aim of the game is to practice gerunds and in particular the auxiliary verb when forming the present progressive.  Have fun!!
