Suggestion: Have older students make up question cards from anything they need to study for an upcoming test (history, science, math equations...). They study while they make the questions as well as when they play the game. Cards can be kept and added to throughout the school year to be used as a weekly or quarterly review.
Each player answers their own question cards, so a high schooler might be answering biology questions while a 3-year-old sibling is naming colors when it's their turn.
Big Game Review
(Study Game)
You can use any size/type game board, but if you want to
cover it, the supplies needed may be slightly different depending on the size
and shape of your board. The sample boards I’ve done are all square boards that
fold into fourths and go in a square box.
Supplies needed:
Square box game board (like Trivial Pursuit)
(4) pages of 12x12 paper for the game board background
(4) pages of 12x12 pattern paper for the squares to make the
track
4 different
designs or colors. Sample uses black solid and 3 patterns
Paper #1
(solid) – approximately 60 1 ½” squares
Paper #2 –
approximately 15-20 1 ½” squares
Paper #3 –
approximately 15-20 1 ½” squares
Paper #4 –
approximately 15-20 1 ½” squares
Extra paper for decorating the box
Adhesive for paper (won’t wrinkle paper – sample used Modge
Podge)
Clear Contact Paper (enough to cover the entire board)
Game tokens (like bingo markers from Oriental Trading
Company)
Container for bingo markers (mini M&M container or Mentos with flip up lid work well)
Single dice
Bonus – if your game board comes with a box to hold question
cards, cover that too:)
Cover just one section of the
game board with Modge Podge
or other adhesive (thin layer;p just enough to hold it down).- Cover all 4 corners of the board in the same manner (making sure all 4 corners match up in the center).
- Press evenly to smooth out any bubbles.
- Once all 4 corners are down, snip off outside corners with scissors to avoid buckling.
- Fold trimmed edges over to the back of the board and glue down.
- Lay out your track using the 1 ½” squares. Solid color (Color #1) is just for making the trail and marking spaces. Color#2 is for answering a question card. #3 is for rolling again and #4 is for moving back 1 space (or whatever works for you).
- Once you have everything laid out where you want it; glue it down. No beginning and no end.
- After entire track is glued in place, use Clear Contact Paper to cover the entire board (going completely around each piece that divides in half when the game folds.)
- Once the board is covered, you can cover the game box, token holder, and/or card holder to match if want to.
Print directions for playing the game. Best to laminate this or stick it inside of the lid. You'll need to change the directions a bit to suit your game, but here is a sample:

Playing board, playing pieces, chips, one dice and
questions (or
