The aim of the game is to complete an unbroken path of counters or ‘lily pads’ from one side of the river to the other by recalling your 12 times table. Age range: 3rd Grade+  \nNumber of players: 2  \nLearning: 12 times table You will need  \n- Each player will need 25 counters of their own color.  \nInstructions  \n• The first player to start places chooses any of the hexagons on the grid with a number on it. They say the 12 times table fact which the number is equal to. E.g. if the number is 84, they say ‘ 12 times 7 equals 84’ or ‘7 times 12 equals 84’.  \n• If the fact is correct, they place a counter on the number. If they are wrong, they do not get to place a counter.  \n• The second player now chooses any of the uncovered hexagons with a number on it. They say the 12 times table fact which their number is equal to.  \n• Players can choose to either create their own path or block the path of their opponent.  \n• Play continues until a player manages to complete an unbroken line of counters across the river from the left side of the board (Start) to the right side of the board (Finish) . The first player to do this is the winner.  \n• If no player manages to make a path across the pond then the game is drawn.  \n• The green hexagons on the board are existing lily pads on the river which any player can use to make their paths. The red snake hexagons are danger hexagons which cannot be used in any paths. You cannot place a counter on the green or red hexagons.  \nExamples of Winning Paths  \nThe thick red lines show examples of 2 winning paths from one side of the pond to the other.","cbCaidLC4KyC6Tri","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidLC4KyC6Tri","pdf",675086,"English","# Game Overview\n# Rules and Instructions\n## Setup\n## How to Play\n## Board Features","[{\"question\":\"How does a player win the Cross the River game?\",\"answer\":\"A player wins by being the first to create an unbroken line of counters from the left side (Start) to the right side (Finish) of the hexagonal grid.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the functions of the green and red hexagons on the board?\",\"answer\":\"Green hexagons represent existing lily pads that any player can use for their path, while red snake hexagons are danger zones that cannot be used or covered with a counter.\"},{\"question\":\"What is required to successfully place a counter on a hexagon?\",\"answer\":\"To place a counter, a player must choose an uncovered hexagon and correctly state the corresponding multiplication fact for the 12 times table (e.g., for 84, they must say '12 times 7 equals 84').\"}]","Cross the River - 12 Times Table Game | PDF",1792669577]
