Description

Get ready to roll! In this engaging digital game, students take turns rolling the dice and moving around a colourful game board made up of mini worlds inspired by other Digi-Games, like the ocean, race track, mountains, and more.


As they land on different spaces, students will be shown an image of a toy and asked to choose the word that best describes it. For example, they may be asked: “Which word describes a truck?” with options like hard or fluffy. This game helps students develop their understanding of adjectives by linking descriptive words to familiar objects, supporting vocabulary growth and early grammar skills.


The game continues until all questions have been answered. Players keep moving around the board as long as questions remain. At the end, the player with the highest total coin value wins!


Key Learning Outcomes:

  • ✅ Identify adjectives that describe familiar objects
  • ✅ Use descriptive language to talk about toys and materials
  • ✅ Strengthen understanding of word meaning and context
  • ✅ Develop early grammar and oral language skills
  • ✅ Participate in interactive, turn-based gameplay

How to Play:

  1. Students roll the dice and move their token across the themed game board.
  2. When they land on a space, they are shown a toy and a related question.
  3. A correct answer allows them to collect the coin on that space; coin values vary based on colour and size.
  4. Occasionally, a special event may occur to add extra fun to the round.
  5. Players continue circling the board until all questions are completed. The player with the highest total coin value wins!

Ideas for Classroom Use:

  • 💡 Use during oral language or grammar sessions to build adjective vocabulary
  • 💡 Pair with a physical toy bin and have students describe real objects
  • 💡 Great for Early Years–Year 1 students developing descriptive word knowledge
  • 💡 Follow up with a drawing and labelling task using adjectives from the game

Top Teacher Tips:

  • 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
  • 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play
  • 💛 Send the QR code home for students to play as a homework or revision task

Let’s Roll – Words to Describe Toys helps young learners expand their vocabulary and connect descriptive words to everyday experiences, all while collecting coins and enjoying a journey around the board!
