You will need:
cardboard, paper, magazies
(for pictures), brads, paper clips, dice (if you have them), crayons or
markers, pop bootle lids or pennies for game pieces.
Getting started:
There are many types of games
as you know. For this assignment you will make a board game.
You can model your game after another game you know.
1. Talk about the board
games you know. How are they played?
2. Talk about what kind
of game you will make. Will you need dice, or a spinner, or cards
to move the game along?
3. Collect the materials
you will need.
4 Try to draw your idea
on scratch paper first. Then put your idea on the cardboard.
Once you have the board make up some rules.
5. You can make a spinner
with construction paper, a brad, and a paper clip.
Try it out: Try the game with your partner. Make sure you both understand the rules.
Show it off: Ask some other kids and your teacher to try the game with you.
