Jump and Slide 2 (Quiz Game - Elementary)

An elementary level quiz game to practise making questions

Individuals or teams see an answer and must ask the correct question.
A version for beginners is here Jump and Slide (Quiz Game - Beginners / Elem)
A pre-intermediate version is here Jump and Slide 3 (Quiz Game - Pre-Int) 

Students should see the questions / answers "board" projected on an interactive whiteboard (if so they can come out and "touch" the numbers to play) or on a screen.
Students could also play it on tablets if available.


Note
1) You can download the "board" below and print it as A3. Teams throw a dice, land on a square and answer the corresponding question. If correct, they move a piece (as in a traditional snakes and ladders style game) until they arrive at the "end".
