The Story of “Goin Fishin” Get ready to go fishing! Just like Reenie and Mama went fishing and Pigeon and Mr. Troup went fishing, you are going to go fishing as well! But this is a little different. In order to keep fish, you must correctly answer questions while moving your game piece along the board. But look out! If you get a bite and answer a question incorrectly, you cannot move ahead on that turn. If you do answer correctly, you may move ahead one space. Be the first to get back to shore with the most fish and win! Home Page

Game Directions The goal of the game is to move along the board and catch the most fish. To play the game you have to spin the spinner and move your piece appropriately along the board. Draw a question and follow the instructions on the card according to whether or not you answer correctly or incorrectly. To win the game you have to get to the end with the most number of fish. Everyone will get to the end and the player with the most fish wins (not necessarily the one that gets there first). Return

Questions Cards: only one is needed per game or group of students.

Rules of the Game Youngest player starts. Spin the spinner and move along the game board. Follow the instructions on the square. Player to the left of the youngest player goes next, and the turns continue to rotate around the group. If a player is on a square that is in the path of another player, the passing player should skip that square as if it were not there: If questions run out for a certain type of fish, simply choose another fish and continue to play accordingly. If a question is answered correctly on the first time collect 3 fish. If it takes 2 or more times to answer it correctly, collect 2 fish. Player 2 Player 1 1 2 (Player 2) Player 2 needs to move 2 spaces. .

Time to Go Fishin’! Home Page Game Directions The youngest player starts. Spin the spinner and move your piece the number of spaces the spinner indicates.
