This item has printable black and white checker boards and game pieces. The teacher writes Spanish vocabulary words on the white squares. Students must translate the word on the square they want to move to before they are allowed to move. When I used it in my classroom, I always put verbs on the squares to practice conjugation. Students found it very engaging and calming to focus on a game that required them to use both their Spanish skills and logic/strategy smarts.
