Template 1: The Lucky Star Game

To play this board game, each pair of students needs ONE DICE and an eraser each. The students should take turns rolling the dice and then moving their erasers. Next, the students should make a dialogue with their partner based on the image in that square. 

The aim of the game is to get to the center star to earn a point. After winning a point, that student then goes back to the start and begins again. After five or ten minutes, stop the game, and the student with the most points is the winner.

Template 2: Race Around The World

No need for dice! In this board game template, all students need is one eraser each (or something small to use as their game piece). This board game is best played in pairs. Students will ‘race around the world’ and the first student to make it all the way around the world is the winner. One student will go clockwise, and one student will go anti-clockwise. 

To play this board game, students should play rock, scissors, paper. The winner then gets to move their eraser to the next square. Next, students should make a dialogue based on the image in that square. Then they should play rock, scissors, paper again.

Template 3: The Spinner Game

For this next printable board game, each pair of students needs one paper clip and one pencil. Students should place the paper clip in the center of the board game and place their pencil in the center of the clip. Then, the students will take turns flicking the paper clip to make it spin. After each spin, students should make a dialogue with their partner and then write down their points (the numbers in the center of the game). After 5 minutes or so, the student with the most points is the winner.

Template 4: Flick The Eraser Game

This board game is another fun game that does not require dice. Each student needs an eraser (or something they can easily flick) and a colored pencil/crayon. One student should place his / her eraser at the bottom of the page. Then, he/she should flick the eraser up the board using their finger. 

If the eraser lands on one of the images, then the students should make a dialogue based on that image. Next, the student who flicked the eraser should color in that area (or write their name). Then, it’s the other student’s turn. The game ends when all the shapes have been colored in. The student with the most areas is the winner.

Template 5: The Dice Game

For this board game, each pair of students needs one dice and something small (like an eraser) to act as their game piece. To play this board game, students should place their game pieces where it says ‘Start’. Then, one student should roll the dice and move their game piece. Next, the students should make a dialogue based on the image in that square. Then, it is the other student’s turn. The first student to make it to the end of the board game is the winner.
