Spiral Multiplication!

Looking for a new twist on how you practice your multiplication tables!?
1 ~ Use a deck of cards (we use A-9) to make a spiral game board starting from the center.
2 ~ Place your game pieces at the start.
3 ~ Player 1 rolls the die & multiplies the number on the die by the card the game piece is on.
4 ~ If they are correct, they move the number of spaces the die shows. If they are incorrect, they do not get to move.
5 ~ Take turns & repeat until someone reaches the end.
