How to use this game

It’s time to build a penguin…

• Each player places a token on the board and needs a pencil and piece of paper on which to draw their penguin
• Players take turns to roll a dice and move their token around the board
• The player should identify each note they land on, and draw the corresponding part of their penguin
• The body must be drawn first. The head must be drawn before the eyes and beak
• The first player to complete their penguin is the winner
• A single player may play against the clock – set a timer and see how quickly you can complete your penguin
