Answer questions in four different ways!
* Say it!—Say your answer out loud.
* Write it!—Write out your answer on scratch paper.
* Act it out!—Get up and move around to show your answer.
* Choose it!­—Choose your answer from multiple-choice answers.
Wacky Cards are scattered throughout each category.
Be prepared to sing, hop, act goofy—in other words—get wacky!
Object of the Game
1. Shuffle each category of cards and place them on
their corresponding color-coded spaces around
the board. There are four categories of cards: Say
it!, Write it!, Act it out!, and Choose it!
2. The player reads the question on the card aloud
and does what it says. If there is a SHHH! symbol on the card, the player should read the card
silently and do what it says. The player with the
Answer Key checks the answer. If it is a Wacky
Card or the player’s answer is in question, the
other players will take a vote to decide if the
answer is correct.
2. Make sure players have scratch paper to write or
draw their answers on.
• If the question is answered incorrectly, play
passes to the player on the left.
3. Decide whether players will play alone or with
partners.
• If the question is answered correctly, the player
may have a bonus roll of the die and move ahead
that many spaces. All parts of the question must
be answered correctly. More than one player may
move forward if the card indicates. The player
does not answer another question, and play
moves to the player on the left.
Answer questions correctly to move ahead and be
the first one to reach the Finish.
Setting Up the Game
Directions for Play
1. Choose a player to be the keeper of the Answer
Key. Each player then chooses a pawn and places
it on the Start space. Roll to see who will go
first. Player 1 rolls the die, moves the number of
spaces shown, and chooses a card from the deck
that is the same color as the space he or she is
on. Players may share a space.
3. The first player to reach the Finish space and
correctly answer a question chosen by his or her
opponents wins. If Finish is reached on a bonus
roll, the player must wait until his or her next turn
to answer the winning question.
