For this activity the group needs a clock. Players roll the dice. If a player land on a picture of a verb, the player says the verb (i.e. “get up”). Then she asks others, “What time do you get up?” The player takes the clock and arranges the hands on the clock to represent the time she does the activity. She says, “I get up at 7:00.”
The instructor writes the words from the game board on separate pieces of paper. The instructor also writes the times that are shown on the game board. Players have the words and the times in front of them. Players roll the dice. When they land on a time, they find the written time on their paper and say the time. When they land on a picture, they find the word for the picture and read the word.
