This document provides instructions for a classroom speaking activity where students play a board game in groups. The goal is to be the first to reach the "Finish" square by rolling a die and moving that number of spaces. When a student lands on a square, they must complete a sentence prompt using vocabulary like "used to", "would", or "-ing" forms and then discuss the topic. Examples of sentence prompts include activities they did as children, food preferences, or grammar points they now understand. The teacher's notes provide guidance on setting up the game and potential follow-up discussion.
