WARNING:    CHOKING HAZARD -                            This toy contains small  parts.                            Not for children under 3 years.

OBJECT OF THE GAME
To be the first player to go from the START BUS to the FINISH BUS by following the green footprints and Report Cards around the playing board.

SET-UP
Carefully remove all plastic parts from their frames. Remove the 6 character pieces carefully and place them in the mover stands, then place the report cards off to the side of the game board.  Place the spinner on top of the game board and push the collar in from the bottom side until it snaps into place.

BEGINNING THE GAME
The youngest player begins by choosing a playing piece and placing it on the starting bus space. That player then spins the Spinner and advances the number of footprints or report card spaces indicated by the Spinner.

THE SPINNER
The Spinner has six numbers, ranging from one to six, and two colors - yellow and green.  When a player spins, the number the Spinner points to will determine the number of footprints he/she advances. If a player lands on a space, he/she will answer either a green or yellow question (see Question Cards).

READING THE CARDS
The Reader is the Person to the player's left. When a player's turn is over, the Reader becomes the new player.

QUESTION CARDS
Each Question Card has six questions and answers per side. The questions are arranged into three age categories
and two colors.

AGE CATEGORIES - Preschool, Ages 6-7, Age 8
COLORS - yellow and green

Example of play: if a six-year-old player spins the Spinner and it points to the number 4, that player will advance four spaces. He/she will land on either a green footprint or a Report Card. If the player lands on a footprint he/she will answer a green-colored question under the Ages 6-7 group because the number 4 on the Spinner is green.  If 
the same player spun a 5 instead he/she would answer a yellow question under his/her age group since the number
5 on the Spinner is yellow.

NOTE: Question Cards should be returned to the pile after each question has been answered. The Question Cards have two colors to aid in remembering which side has already been played.

REPORT CARDS
When a player spins the Spinner and moves ahead the number of foot-prints indicated, he/she may land on a Report Card.  At this point the player picks up a Report Card and follows the directions on the card, thus ending his/her 
turn.

ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS
When a player correctly answers a school question, he/she moves ahead one additional space on the game board.  Should a player land on a Report Card after moving ahead one additional footprint, that player must follow the Report Card's directions. After a player has completed his/her turn, play moves on to the next person in a clockwise direction.

WINNING THE GAME
The winner is the first player to land on the Finish Bus having followed the Report Cards and answered the appropriate  questions.

NOTE: If a player is two footprints away from the Finish Bus and he/she spins a 5, he/she may advance to the finish and answer an age-and color- appropriate question. If a player does not answer the question correctly, that player must go back  to his/her previous position on the game board.

NOTE: In order for a player to win the game, he/she must answer the final question correctly.
 

If a player has been able to master his/her age category, he/she may find it more challenging to play the next higher age group.
