when (cuándo)
why (porqué)
how (como)
how long (cuánto tiempo)

HOW TO PLAY

1.) Play with two players or two teams, an X team and an O team.
2.) Teams take turns flipping challenge cards.
3.) Players have 45 seconds to complete the challenges. If they are successful, they have 20 seconds to select a square.
4.) Players try to get as many lines of four in a row (in any direction) as they can. Each line of four is worth a point.

Word Count Challenges

Some challenges ask you to use a specific number of words in your sentences. You can win these by adding adjectives, adverbs of frequency, and time and place phrases. Here’s an example:

Make an affirmative sentence with more than 10 words with the verb drive.

My dad usually drives his big, blue car in the afternoon.

But be careful!

Players can’t repeat adjectives or time/place phrases that have already been used!
