Instructions for Setup
In this packet, you will find:
• 18 games with directions
• Answer keys for each game

Other materials you will need for setup:


• See each game board for a list of materials needed for that
game (six-sided dice, counters, and/or colored pencils)

Setting up your games:


1. Print each game board single-sided. Printing in color will look best,
but printing in grayscale will be okay too.
2. Laminate each game board, if possible. That way, you will be
able to use each game board for years to come.
Note: For the Squares and Last to Fill games, you can either
print multiple copies and have students write directly on the
game, or you can laminate a copy and use dry erase markers
with it.
3. Any additional materials that are needed for each game are
listed on the game itself. Gather those materials before
playing.

Notes:
• The directions for each game are written on the game board so
that students can check the directions at any time.
• All games are best played with 2 players.
