How to play:
Before you start, each player puts his or her counter on the first box.

Each player takes it in turns to roll the dice. Move your counter forward the number of spaces shown on the dice.

When you land on a box, you need to make a sentence using the verb in the box. Conjugate the verb according to the number shown on your roll of the dice.

1. ich
2. du
3. er / sie / es
4. wir
5. ihr
6. Sie, sie

If your counter lands at the bottom of a ladder, you move up to the top of the ladder.

If your counter lands on the head of a snake, you slide down to the bottom of the snake.

The first player to reach the last box is the winner.
