It's fun making your own games, incorporating your theme within a familiar game. Learning about trees? Instead of "Snakes and Ladders", create your own board with ropes to climb and branches to slide down, throwing dice or turning over cards to determine how far you move up the tree trunk. It's even more fun to throw in a few hazardous squares, questions that get turned over when landed upon. Correct? Move forward two squares. Wrong? Back a couple! Make your question cards together and relate them to the topic you are learning.

Have fun creating your own rules and goals! Good luck abounds when you land on a leaf ... double the dice!

You'll enjoy making many versions as you head off on space explorations, study the ocean, learn about rainbows...imagination awaits!
