Letter B Games

Match a picture on the board to the one landed on, which is the single decision every turn asks for

Hold a three-step rule - roll, move, cover - across a whole game rather than checking it each turn

Take turns and recognise a win condition, ending the round only when every picture on the board is covered

Nothing on the boards specifies what covers a picture, so decide before play - counters, linking cubes, mini erasers or paper squares all suit a preschool table

The rule sits in a single line of running text at the top of the board rather than as a numbered list, so read it aloud once with the group before the first round

Both boards use the same wording, so a second pair can start on the other board while the first is still playing

The Roll Again spaces make the game length uneven; if a centre rotation is timed, agree a stopping point rather than playing to a finish

Picture matching - the only action each turn requires is finding the picture on the board that matches the one the player has landed on.

Turn-taking with a die - players roll, move around the track and pass on, which is the social routine a small-group literacy centre depends on.

Following a multi-step rule - roll, move, check for a match, cover - carried through a whole game from the single instruction line at the top of the board.

Recognising a finish condition - the round ends only when every picture on the board has been covered, so players track the state of the whole board rather than their own progress alone.
