It's All Sequential

Copy onto cards the sequences shown below, one per card. Shuffle the cards and put them face down in a pile. Copy onto a large sheet of paper (or several smaller sheets taped together) the game board shown below. Make sure that a counter will fit inside each square.

In turn, each partner selects a card. Each partner finds the next number in the sequence shown on the card and then moves his or her counter the same number of spaces. Continue in the same manner until one partner reaches the "End" square. Shuffle the cards when necessary and to begin a new game. Try to win three out of five or four out of seven games.
