Road Block Game Description:

Here's a great game that introduces map reading skills and following directions. Players mover around the game board and answer questions and set up "road blocks" to stop their opponents. Play money is included and when you reach your destination you receive $5. The first player to accumulate $30 wins!
 
“My destination is WEST A-10 and I’m almost there!” Players build map-reading skills as they travel across a coordinate grid to their destinations. Along the way they answer questions about map symbols, mileage, and geographical directions, as well as set up roadblocks for other players. Earn money for reaching destinations or receiving a safe driver award. Pay money when landing on a roadblock, pumping gas, or getting auto repairs. Be the first to collect $30 and win the game! Addresses state and national standards for geography and mathematics.
