Materials:
1 die 1 game board Game tokens Playing pieces
Procedures: 1. Form your team of four quickly and quietly. Push desks together to form a table. 2. Use the roles of Supply Clerk, Coach, Timekeeper, and Reporter. 3. The Coach should read these procedures aloud to the group and make sure everyone understands how to play the game. 4. The Supply Clerk will be in charge of the tokens. Before beginning the game, they should give everyone 1 token. 5. Select a playing piece and place it on the “start” box. 6. Begin play. Players should rotate clockwise, taking turns. 7. Roll the die. Each person will roll one time. The person with the highest number will begin the game. If two people roll the same number, they must re-roll to break the tie. 8. Once the game begins, move your game piece the number of spaces indicated on the die. 9. Follow the directions on the space you land on. If you land on a space that sends you to “Time Out”, you lose a turn. When your turn comes up again, you must return to the space that sent you to “Time Out” and roll the die. You will collect and lose tokens as you move around the game board. 10. When you reach the last square “Completed Science Investigation Safely”, take five tokens. Do this only if you are the first person to finish. The game is then over for all players. 11. Count the tokens you collected. The winner is the person who has the most tokens, not necessarily the player to complete the game first! 12. The Timekeeper informs the teacher when the group finishes a game, and the Reporter tells the teacher who won!
