Procedure
1. Divide students into groups of three or four. Give each group a board, a set of frequency cards and a set of time cards, and a coin or dice. Each student will also need a counter. 2. Ask the students to place their counters on Start. They should then deal out the frequency cards and place the time cards face down in a pile on the board. 3. The first student starts either by throwing the dice and moving the appropriate number of squares or by spinning the coin (heads: move one square, tails: move two squares). 4. When students land on a square, they should pick up a time card and then make a true sentence about themselves using the time expression and one of their frequency cards; for example, landing on the go skiing square and taking the expression in the summer, the student could use his/her frequency card never to make the sentence I never go skiing in the summer. 5. If the other students think the sentence is not true, they may challenge him/her. If they are right and it was not true, the student must miss a go. If they are wrong and it was true, the player gets another go.
