Print out all the dot cards and glue the backs and fronts together. Laminate the cards and the board. Before starting the game, match the colors of the dot cards, creating a purple dot card pile, a blue dot card pile, and a yellow dot card pile. Shuffle each pile. Students will begin on the Start eye. Whoever roles the highest with the dice moves first. Follow the stars across the board. When a student lands on a color, choose a matching dot card and answer the question. If the student answers the question correctly, they may stay on their spot. If the student’s answer is incorrect, they must go back 5 spaces. If a student lands on a space that says Jump Ahead, they can follow the arrows down to the next eye. Whoever makes it to the Finish eye first wins the game! It is a quick game so it is recommended to play several rounds and to shuffle the study cards each round.
