## English board games for kids

There are different types of board games. Some of them are classic because they were created a long time ago and they are very popular. But do you know any of them?

- If you know, tell your group about one.
- If you don't know, don't worry, we are going to work on some of them.

Each group is going to work on one game.

1- Have a look at these websites and choose the game you prefer (choose one you never played before). When you decide tell your teacher so that all the groups work on a different game.

We are going to make our own Snakes and Ladders so we can play it whenever we want in class.

1. Print one sample for each group (Snakes and ladders board game. j4p4n. Wikimedia. CC0).
2. Write questions and actions in half of the squares related to the topic you are working in class.
3. Change your game with another group.
4. Play it with your group!

Here you are another idea!

If you want to play with the whole class or during the breaks or rainy days you can make a big card or paper board (remember to play barefoot) or draw it with chalk or paint on the playground!!

You can find inspiration in the following pictures...
