INSTRUCTIONS TO CREATE A BOARD GAME
1. Make a list of all the items that you will have for sale in the game.
2. Label each item with a price. (Look up the prices on the internet so that you get an idea of the real prices for the items.)
3. Make a plan on how your board will look.
Make it look like a store. For example: draw rectangles next to each other leaving spaces between them to simulate the aisle in a department store. Each rectangle can be a different department such as the shoe department, girls clothing, boys clothing etc. Then on each rectangle you would place pictures of the items being sold with their price.
4. Then make up the question cards to play with. The questions will be money problems. Examples below.
5. Use a word processor to type up the cards and to label the board. Use graphics from the internet or available software.
