    This document describes a grammar board game activity that can be used to review grammar concepts with intermediate English learners. The activity involves dividing students into small groups and having them play a "snakes and ladders"-style board game. As they roll dice and move their markers, students must complete grammar tasks by answering questions about vocabulary words from level 1. If they answer correctly, they advance their marker. The game reviews many foundational grammar topics and allows students to practice in a fun, competitive way. Careful classroom management is required to run the activity successfully.
