  2. Dice: Use a six-sided dice labelled with numbers 3 to 8.
  3. String: Prepare a length of string to act as the zipwire.

How to Play

  1. Set Up:
    • Choose the book that will be used for the game and have it ready.
    • Hang a length of string between two points to act as the zipwire.
    • Place the hanger at the top of the zipwire.
  2. Reading the Page:
    • Each player takes a turn reading one page from the selected book carefully.
  3. Roll the Dice:
    • After reading the page, the player rolls the dice labelled 3-8. The number rolled indicates how many words they must use in their headline.
  4. Write a Headline:
    • Using the limited number of words determined by the dice roll, the player writes a headline that summarises what the page they read is about. The headline should be concise and capture the essence of the page.
  5. Hang the Headline:
    • Once players have written their headline, they hang it on the hanger, place it at the top of the zipwire and slide it down.
  6. Winning:
    • The first player to successfully slide their headline down the zipwire wins the round.
    • Continue playing for a set number of rounds. The player with the most round wins or the highest score wins the game.

“Summarise Slide” is a unique and active game that encourages players to extract the key information from a book page and convey it succinctly. It combines creativity, reading comprehension, and physical activity for an entertaining and educational experience.
