Preparation:

Game instructions and playing pieces

Print the How to Play page. You have three printing options.

- Colour – for if you printed either of the colour game boards

- BW 1 – for if you printed the BW 1 game board

- BW 2 – for if you printed the BW 2 game board

Cut out and laminate the fish at the top of the page to use as playing pieces. If you are using the BW printed fish, you would need to colour them before laminating. Alternatively, you can simply use counters or buttons.

Cut out and laminate the “How to Play” instructions for students to refer to when they play the game.

Game Board

Print and laminate the game board. You have four printing options

- Full colour (100% coverage – uses a lot of colour ink/toner)

- Less colour (approximately 50% coverage)

- BW 1 – You will need to colour the board, ensuring that the shells are purple and red – the same as on the colour game boards.

- BW 2 – if you do not plan to colour the board, you can use this option. The purple shells are white and the red shells are black to differentiate them.

Question cards

Print the question cards. You can print in colour or BW.

Print the card backs on the reverse side of the question card pages. You have three printing options

- Full colour (100% coverage – uses a lot of colour ink/toner)

- Less colour (less than 50% coverage)

- BW

Cut out and laminate the question cards

Please note: lamination  of all game elements is optional, but recommended as it will ensure the

game will last longer.
