Then the student should use his/her finger to flick the eraser. If it lands in one of the hexagons, then the student wins that area and colors it in. Next, the students should make a dialogue based on the food in that area, and then it’s the next student’s turn. At the end of the game, the student with the most areas colored in is the winner.
