Roll the dice and let the adventure begin! In this interactive board game-style challenge, students move through a vibrant world filled with different landscapes drawn from across the Digi-Games universe. With each roll, they land on new spaces and answer questions to earn points. The more questions they get right, the more treasure they can collect!

This game supports students in making connections between characters and the settings they belong to. For each question, they’ll choose the character that best fits the suggested location, whether it's matching a fairy to an enchanted forest or a pirate to a sandy beach. It’s a fun and engaging way to build understanding of story structure and context.

Let’s Roll – Characters and Settings is ideal for small group rotations or independent literacy practise. With each round, students roll, move, and answer, earning coins of varying point values as they go. At the end of the game, the student with the most points wins!
