Activity Overview
Students will love creating their own board game that they can play with their friends!
This Game Board project can be used in all subjects, such as to reinforce math facts, review questions in Social Studies or Science, or just for fun! Students can create the board game using a template provided and then create tokens and question cards to go along that relate to the topic.
Teachers can use this as a final assessment or culminating project to finish a unit. Then, students will enjoy celebrating their achievement by playing their games together at the end! Teachers can print out and laminate the games and set them up in different stations around the room so that students can travel around and try out each one. This could also be a great addition to a parent's night, science or math fair, or other school community showcase.
Remember teachers, for each assignment in Storyboard That you can add as many templates as you wish! This can help to differentiate assignments but also increases engagement by providing student choice. For more templates to add to this assignment, check out our game poster templates!
