How to use it

Cut out the cards and pawns and find a counter for each player. Take turns and read each space out loud before moving. It is one of the easier sheets for Pre-K, good as a warm-up or a first look at the skill. Its 2 pages split well across two sittings.

There is no separate answer key; talk through the answers together when it is done.

Tip for grown-ups: Play the first round together and talk through each space before moving.

Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
