HOW TO PLAY - FUN WITH LANGUAGE ARTS- GAME RULES

SET UP:
1. Select markers and place them on 'Start'.
2. Spin the spinner to determine the order of play.  The player with the highest number plays first.

RULES:
1. Each player, in turn, spins and moves his or her marker the number
of spaces indicated.  The player takes the top card from the stack named
in the space.

2. If the player correctly answers the question, he or she keeps the card. 
If the player cannot answer, or answers incorrectly, the card is placed
on the bottom of the stack.  (Another player should check the answer.)
 
CAPITALIZATION QUESTIONS: Players must find all the words
that need capitals.
PUNCTUATION QUESTIONS: Players must supply the missing
punctuation mark.
USAGE QUESTIONS: Players must choose the correct word
to complete the sentence.
SPELLING QUESTIONS: Players must indicate which word
is misspelled.  Optional: Have players also give the correct spelling.
 
3. If a player's marker lands on 'Bonus', he or she answers the question
in that space.  If the answer is correct, the player gets a bonus card
and takes another turn.  If it is incorrect, the turn ends.

4. Players alternate turns until the game is completed.
Choose one of the following rules to end the game:

• After each player has had ten turns, the player with the most
  cards is the winner. 

• After one of the players has gone once around the board (ending on or passing 'START'), the player with the most cards is the winner.

• After one of the players has gone twice around the board, the player with the most cards is the winner. 

• Assign a point value to each type of card.  For Example:
  Punctuation- 1 point
  Capitalization- 2 points
  Usage- 3 points
  Spelling- 4 points
  Bonus- 5 points
  The first player to score 25 points is the winner.  The winning total should be set before starting the game.

• When one player has at least one of each of the five cards (capitalization, punctuation, usage, spelling, and bonus), that player is the winner.
