Concepts Taught: Book Report
> CREATE A GAME
>
> This month you will be creating a board game for your book
> report. Choose a mystery story. After you have read your
> book, do the following things:
> 1. Create a playing board designed with a path of spaces
> leading from “Start” to “Finish.” In each space you will
> mention events that happened in your book. Include the main
> idea, some of the important details and action events from
> the book in your spaces. Your spaces may instruct the player
> how to move their playing pieces or you may make cards to
> tell them how to move. For example, a space or a card may
> say, “Nancy finds a clue in the clock. Move ahead two
> spaces.” Also, include some “foils” such as, “Nancy runs out
> of gas, miss your next turn.”
> 2. Your playing board should show the setting of your book.
> The name of your game should be the title of your book. Be
> sure to write the name of the author on the board as well as
> your own name.
> 3. Construct playing pieces to represent the characters in
> your book.
> 4. Decide how your playing pieces will move through your game
> and collect the appropriate materials such as dice or
> spinners etc.
> 5. Write clear directions explaining the rules of your game.
> 6. Put the pieces together in a box or zip type plastic bag
> so you won’t lose any pieces.
> 7. Be sure your name is on your project and bring it to
> school on Halloween Day, when you can try out each others
> games.
