this makes a simple board game really quite simple! and very creative for the kids too. thanks alot
I love this idea! Thanks for writing it up and making the instructions so clear and simple. I wouldn’t have known where to start if I did this on my own
I did this with my 4 year old daughter this morning and it was such a hit. The cutting and pasting were right up her alley. She also loved coming up with the instructions for the cards. While most of our cards illustrate her ideas of good and bad behavior, “You pushed your brother on the swing,” or “You ate too much candy,” we have one card that says, “sparkling stars underwater.” Love that one.

Thanks for the great idea. I wish I had done this when I was a kid.
This is a great idea, also can be used for the mentaly challenged.
Thank you SO much for giving me this idea. I recently began nannying a 4 1/2-year-old boy and a 10-week-old girl. The baby is fairly easy to entertain but the little boy isn’t as easy. Now I have something that will keep both of us occupied and have fun!
Great idea! Thanks!!
I linked to this post, because you made it seem so easy.

But I would advise all parents, just like I advise them when they are considering what games to purchase for kids:

Don’t stick with the games that offer no choices for your children. Play games that give them choices to make, regardless of what age they are. Otherwise, the game essentially devolves into luck, and all that that teaches is gambling, not playing.

Even for the dumbest games, such as Chutes and Ladders and Candyland, the game goes up five notches if you make one change to the rules:

Give each player TWO pawns, and let them decide which one to move each turn.

I think I will devote a blog post to this subject sometime this week.

Very clever, very creative!! Thanks for the detailed pictures and description.

I made a game board for my son’s classroom recently but will definitely give my son more room and opportunity to be creative for our next board.

Loved the idea.!! It helped me with my homework for English.!! Thank you.!!
