How to Prepare and Play This Input Output Game
It’s easy to “dive in” to our input/output games, and this one is no different! Here are instructions to prepare and play this board game.
Preparation:
- Download and print the resource in the format of your choice. We recommend printing the game board and cards on cardstock and laminating for longevity.
- Cut apart the question cards and shuffle them, placing the stack on the “Draw Pile” section on the game board.
- Give each student a game piece and a recording sheet if you would like them to record their answers.
- Provide each group with a number cube and an answer key.
Directions:
- Place the game tokens at “Start.” Player 1 rolls the number cube and moves forward the same number of spaces.
- The player follows the directions on the space.
- If the player lands on a picture, they will choose a card and answer the question. A correct answer allows them to stay on the space, while an incorrect answer will send them back to their previous space.
- Players take turns. The player who gets to the “Finish” space first, wins!
