Let’s walk through this game step by step so you know exactly what to do.
This is a board game called “Keep Out Cabin” with a nature and feelings theme. You start at the yellow “START” space near the top left, next to the trees labeled “Feeling Forest.” The goal is to reach the red “FINISH” space in the center of the cabin-shaped path.
Here’s how to play:
1.
Place your playing piece on START.
That’s the yellow rectangle at the beginning of the trail.
2.
Roll the die (or dice) and move forward that many spaces.
Each space has an instruction — like “Name three foods that give you fuel” or “You feel angry but no one knows why. What should you do?”
3.
Follow the directions on each space you land on.
Some spaces tell you to talk about feelings, name things, use strategies, or even go back or forward. For example:
- If you land on “Someone has broken the law! How do you feel?” → Think or talk about it.
- If you land on “Use an I-message to tell someone they are pushing you.” → Practice saying something like “I feel upset when you push me.”
- If you land on “Go back 4 spaces,” then move your piece backward 4 spots.
- If you land on “Move ahead 2 spaces,” jump forward 2.
4.
Continue taking turns until every player reaches FINISH.
The game ends when everyone gets to the red “FINISH” spot in the middle of the cabin.
There’s also a special rule written at the bottom:
> “The end is always near. When you get there, try again!”
That means once you finish, you can restart if you want to keep playing!

Final Answer:
To solve this task, place your game piece on START, roll the die, move that many spaces, follow the instruction on the space you land on, and keep going until you reach FINISH. Repeat for all players.
