If teams note down and "collect" the words in order to make a sentence with them to win it can go on for up to 15 minutes (with 2 teams). Otherwise set a time limit.and just award points for each correct sentence.





Instructions

1. Throw 1 or 2  dice.
2. Click the page forward according to the number on the dice.
3. Make a correct sentence with the word shown.
4. Continue. Play in teams. You can get points for each correct sentence or save each word and whoever can make a complete sentence with the words collected is the winner.
