Students take turns in rolling the dice and moving their game piece. After landing on a square, students should make a sentence based on the shape in that square. The aim of the game is to arrive at the center star to win a point. After winning a point, the student goes back to the start and begins again. The student with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
