Board Game State Trivia Materials: Preparation Tips: How to Play: Remember: game board (pages 2-3) state trivia cards (pages 4-7) 6-sided die markers (any small object) Print the question cards on card stock so players cannot see through the paper. Begin by setting the markers on “Start.” Each player rolls the die to determine who will go first. The player with the higher number is Player 1. The player with the lower number is Player 2. Player 1 rolls the die and moves the correct number of spaces. If the player lands on a square with directions, follow the directions. Player 2 takes a question card and reads it aloud to Player 1. Player 1 tries to answer the question. If Player 1 is correct, he or she stays on the current square. If Player 1 is incorrect, he or she must go back to the square they were on at the beginning of the turn. Then it is Player 2’s turn to roll the die and answer a question. Continue taking turns until one player reaches the “Finish.” The first player to land on it and correctly answer the question wins. A player can only cross the “Route 66” shortcut if they land on the square that says, “You found a shortcut!” If a player lands on “Lose a turn,” they skip their next turn.
