Game board
4 Monster game pieces with stands
21 Word cards
1 Number die
Set Up:
Place the four monster game pieces into the stands. Place all the word
cards face down in neat rows in the middle of the board.
Object of the game:
Be the first player to mo e your monster game piece once around
the board and return to your starting place. Players mo e ahead by
playing “memory,” trying to find the color-coded word cards that start
with the same letter as the words on the board. For example, if a
player lands on a space with a red word, they choose one of the red
word cards.
Directions for game play:
Each player chooses a monster game piece and places it on the
corresponding starting place. Players roll the number die and the player
with the highest number goes first.
The first player rolls the die and mo es ahead clockwise that number of
spaces. The player chooses a word card and reads it aloud. The player
shows the card to the other players and returns it (face down) to its
original place on the board. Players do not keep word cards, e en
when they match. If the first letter on the word card matches with the
word on the board, he/she continues rolling the die. If it does not
match, the player waits until his/her next turn to choose another word
card. The player must make a match before he/she rolls the die and
mo es ahead.
When the path splits, players may choose either direction to follow. The
first player to reach their starting place is the winner. (Note: the starting
place counts as a space.)
Option for longer game play:
Do not use the die for this ersion. Players mo e their monsters around
the board one space at a time. The first player starts by mo ing his/her
monster to the space next to their starting place. The player then turns
o er a word card. If they make a match, the player mo es to the next
space. Players continue matching and mo ing one space at a time. If
the player does not make a match, it is the next player’s turn. The first
player to return to their starting place is the winner.
