INSTRUCTIONSThe aim of the game is to be the first player to reach the end by moving across the board from square 1 to square 100. You will travel the board from base to top, left to right, right to left and so on, following the numbers. Use the information within this game to learn about home fire safety tips and how you can prepare your property for bushfire.

How to PlayEach player throws the dice and the player with the highest number goes first, the player with the lowest number goes last. Each player then takes their turn to roll the dice and move the number of squares shown on the dice. If a player rolls a six, they can have their move and roll the dice again.

If a player lands on a square that has the head of a HOSE on it, the player must slide down the hose to the square at the end of hose. If a player lands on a square that is at the base of the LADDER, the player can move to the square at the top of the ladder. A player can also move forward if they land on a green MOVE # SQUARES and must move backward if they land on a red GO BACK # SQUARES.
