The Rules to 'Four in a Row'

Preparation:

Print boards and laminate. I print 1 game on each side - this makes it easy to revise and reinforce the previous list when children have moved on.

Materials:

A Game Board
One die ( yes die is the singular, dice is the plural )
Coloured counters for each player e.g. Player 1 = red Player 2 = green.

How to Play:

1. Roll the die.
2. Read a word with the same number as the dice.
3. Place one coloured counter on the word if read correctly
4. The winner is the one to have 4 in a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

A special thank you has to go to Billy Reid of Northern Ireland for the creation of the games for this webpage.
