Rules of the Game
Take it in turns to roll the die and move your lightbulb around the board.
If you land on an instruction, you must decide whether it’s a positive or
a negative action and explain why. If you think it’s a positive action,
move forward one space. If it’s a negative, then move back one space
and say how you think it could be a positive.
ACTION ROLL If you land here, roll the die, read the number and do
the action!
The first lightbulb to reach the end wins!
