Directions:

  1. Your team will plug in the “Hey Alexa” board
  2. The team will go around saying “Hey Alexa move *players name* “. This is so the Alexa can generate how many people are playing and what the names of those players are. While doing this they also need to say “Hey Alexa, *players name* is *the choose a color*. You must pick a color option so you. can tell what dot is yours on the board. The color options are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, and grey.
  3. Starting the game, the Alexa will start by picking a number 1-20. Each player will go around a say “*Their name* choses *a number that is 1-20*”. Whoever gets the number/closest number to what Alexa was thinking will go first.
  4. When it is a players turn, the player must tell the Alexa to “flip”. After seeing what digital card pops up, you must say “Hey Alexa, move *players name the certain amount of spaces*”. Keep in mind that there will be skip cards and certain number cards that will make you do certain things.
  5. Whoever makes it to the start to the finish space first wins the game.

Rules:

  1. To be able to make the first move, you need to guess the correct/closest number 1-20 that Alexa is thinking.
  2. You must say “Alexa flip” to flip a card and “Hey Alexa move *players name* a certain amount of spaces.”
  3. If a player gets a number 1 card, the player will be able to go again.
  4. If a player gets a number 12 card, you may either move your player 12 spaces, or you can chose to move another player back 6 spaces.
  5. If one person is on a dot of the Alexa board and another player makes it on that spot, the person that was previously there must move back 4 spaces.
  6. After your turn is complete, you must wait until your next turn to say “Alexa flip”.
