Instructions

in this building chairs

Ask a “How many… are there...?” question using the words or on the topic in the square that you are on, e.g. “How many beds are there in your house?” for “beds”, “How many pets are there in your family?”, for “pets”, “How many coins are there in your bag?” for “in… bag”, or “How many plates are there in your kitchen?” for “topic: cutlery”. Your partner will answer with a full sentence such as “There are three beds in my house”, “There is only one pet in my family”, “There are about 20 coins in my bag”, or “There are no plates in my kitchen but there are many plates in the dining room”. You can then move the number that your partner said in that answer, unless the number is over 10, in which case you can’t move. If you partner says “There are no…”, you also can’t move. If you can’t move, you have to try again with the same task when it is next your turn.
