 Past continuous tense Board Game using WHEN & While

Roll the dice and count according to the spaces on the board and advance. If you fall on a pirate sign, you
restart. If you fall on a forward or backward sign, you move in that direction.

The rules here are simple. Practise the past continuous tense by landing on a space and creating the other
half. For example, number 2 when the phone rang. Student must say something with the past
continuous like this: I was eating my dinner last evening when the phone rang.

If the sentence has a beginning part instead, the students have to make the ending. For example number 4:
I was riding my bicycle yesterday, when I fell off.
