3. Directions
After the preparation of the game is complete everyone will pick out a game piece. Roll the dice to see who gets the highest number, and this person will begin play first. All players begin the game in the green neighborhood. Then the first player will pick which house they want to go to and answer the question. But remember click the world not the number. If they get the question right they can roll the die and move forward on the game board. If the player gets the question wrong they must stay in the neighborhood until they answer one question correctly. If a player lands on the star they get to choose a chance card and read the directions. Once a person has gotten a question right at a house that house is no longer up for grabs. Hurry up and answer the questions, so you can be the first one to the park.
