University Challenge board game Worksheet Two- The Board Game Keep on tossing a coin until you get a tail. Move the number of heads you threw + one.
Set challenges for each other for each square, e.g. heads = you can’t understand the brochure/ tails = no problem. If you can sort out any problems you have by talking to someone (face to face or on the phone) you can stay on the square you have moved to. Otherwise you must go back to your previous place.
