Instructions for Setup
In this packet, you will find:
• 26 games with directions
• Answer keys for each game

Other materials you will need for setup:

• See each game board for a list of materials needed for that
game (six-sided dice, counters, and/or colored pencils, rulers)

Setting up your games:

1. Print each game board single-sided. Printing in color will look best,
but printing in grayscale will be okay too.
2. Laminate each game board, if possible. That way, you will be
able to use each game board for years to come.
• Note: For the Squares game, you can either print multiple
copies and have students write directly on the game, or
you can laminate a copy and use dry erase markers with it.
3. Any additional materials that are needed for each game are
listed on the game itself. Gather those materials before
playing.

Notes:
• The directions for each game are written on the game board so
that students can check the directions at any time.
• All games are best played with 2 players.

(Tell Time to Five Minutes Using Words)
Materials: 1 six-sided dice, 1 game piece per player, 16 small counters (8 per player)
Object of the game: To be the first player to get all of your counters onto the game board.
Directions: Begin on Start. Roll the dice and move your piece around the game board. Read the time on the space that you just landed on.
Find the clock that shows that time in the center of the game board. Do the following if you are correct:
• If that space is empty, place one counter on it.
• If that space has one of the other player’s counters on it, remove the other player’s counter and replace it with one of your own.
• If that space already has one of your own counters on it, place a second counter on top of it. You’ve now locked in that space and cannot get bumped off.
• If that space is already locked in by the other player, you cannot place any of your counters on it. Your turn is over.
Continue taking turns and moving around the board until one player places all of his/her counters onto the center board. Note that players will continue moving
around and around the game board until this happens. If you land on Start while moving around the board, place one of your counters on any available space.

(Calculate Differences in Length – Inches)
Materials: 1 six-sided dice, 1 game piece per player, 16 small counters (8 per player), inch ruler, “BUMP!: Problems Sheet”
Object of the game: To be the first player to get all of your counters onto the game board.
Directions: Begin on Start. Roll the dice and move your piece around the game board. Look at the space that you just landed on. Find those two lines on the
“Problems Sheet.” Measure both lines (in inches) and then find the difference in length between the two lines. Do the following if you are correct:
• If that space is empty, place one counter on it.
• If that space has one of the other player’s counters on it, remove the other player’s counter and replace it with one of your own.
• If that space already has one of your own counters on it, place a second counter on top of it. You’ve now locked in that space and cannot get bumped off.
• If that space is already locked in by the other player, you cannot place any of your counters on it. Your turn is over.
Continue taking turns and moving around the board until one player places all of his/her counters onto the center board. Note that players will continue moving
around and around the game board until this happens. If you land on Start while moving around the board, place one of your counters on any available space.
