Introduction

With the game of "Game of the Goose," students work independently or in pairs or trios on the subject. As they progress through the game, the questions they receive become more difficult.

Instructions

With a few minor exceptions, the rules of the regular "Ganzenbord" game are followed. Each student chooses a game piece (pawn). Since LessonUp does not have dice, the students use the spinner located at the top right of the screen. By spinning the spinner, they can move forward or backward on the board.

As this is a board game, students play in groups using a single device, preferably a tablet or laptop. They gather around the device and do not need to use other devices. The interactivity lies in the collaborative play among the students.
