More about the printable format:
Print in color or save ink with our B/W option
The full-sized version is perfect for storing as a file folder game.Lay a file folder open on your desk. Glue the gameboard on the right side and a small 5″x7″ manilla folder on the left side. Laminate for durability. Be sure that the flap of the envelope is closed (not sealed) when you laminate. Use scissors to cut the lamination to free the flap of the envelope. You can now store the question task cards inside the envelope that is part of the laminated file folder game.

The mini version is designed to fit into those cute plastic photo boxes. You can see what one of these boxes looks like in the photos on this page. They are available to purchase at Amazon and most hobby stores.Print and cut out the mini gameboard, directions card, and photo box game labels. Laminate all for durability. Glue or tape the game labels to your photo box so it is easy to identify which game is in the box. Glue or tape the directions card to the inside of the lid. Place the gameboard, question cards, and game pieces of your choice inside the box (I like to use large beads, buttons, or tiny erasers).

More about the digital format:
Is a great, no-prep option for busy teachers
Includes 2 pieces:Gameboard (on Google Slides™) with moveable game pieces and an interactive die to roll
Interactive PDF that is a self-checking menu board for the review questions

You and your students will need the capability of accessing Google Slides and PDFs in order to use the digital version of this game.
Students can access the interactive Question Menuboard directly from the Google Slides™ Gameboard OR you can assign them the Question Menuboard separately. The second option may be easier for students who struggle with switching back and forth between browser tabs.
