Japanese Game 1

This game is similar to the ‘Snakes & Ladders’ board game. To involve the whole class, students compete in teams of 6. Teams take turns to throw the dice and move markers accordingly. (2 dice are used to allow the game to proceed quickly, as there are 67 squares). Which team will start can be decided by Rock, Scissors, Paper. The player says the number out loud after throwing the dice. To maintain students’ attention to the task, the teacher may decide which member of a team will throw the dice when it is their turn.
