Setting up the game

You’re aiming to set up a huge board game. To set up the game, lay out the cones, hoops or squares in a row. We suggest using 6 per row. You could also use masking tape or chalk to draw out the spaces.
If you are laying out 30 spaces, you should have 5 rows with 6 spaces each. You may need more spaces depending on how many people are in your group. It should look similar to a chess board when all set up.
You may want to run multiple versions of the same game at once if you’ve a very large group. That way people aren’t standing around waiting for their turn for too long.
Place the decision cards on various spaces around the board. Try and spread out the ones that allow players to move forward and backwards evenly across the board.

The object of the game is to be the first player to reach the end by moving across the board from square one to the final square. You will move left to right across first row, then move up to the second and move right to left, and so on. You may want to use masking tape or chalk to add arrows onto the board to show people the directions to move in.

Ask the young people to line up by the start to begin. They could go in alphabetical or date of birth order.

The first player will roll the dice to see how many spaces forward they can move.

Some spaces will have cards on them. If a player lands on a space with a card, they should read it out to everyone. Make sure an adult or young leader is around to help those who need it.

The player should follow the actions of the card once it’s been read out. Some will tell you to move ahead on the board and some will tell you to move backwards. Play then passes to the next person.

If a player lands on a space without a decision card, they should stay were they are. Play then passes to the next person.
The first person to reach the highest space on the board wins. You can only win by rolling the exact number needed to land on the last space.
