Self esteem board game

This board game is played with a group of children. The aim being to collect tokens/counters/coins when they land on a treasure chest square. The other squares are self explanatory. I have saved it on a pdf over 2 pages so it is big enough to play.

Use your senses


Use this simple game to help children with their writing or speaking skills. Children to throw a die, count that number of squares and they either land on 'what can I see, what can I hear, what can I touch, what can I smell?' They must give a sentence describing what they see, hear, smell or touch. Obviously you can play this game anywhere, sitting in the playground, in the garden, in the school canteen, in the classroom etc.
