Students will love creating their own board game that they can play with their friends!
This Game Board project can be used in all subjects, such as to reinforce math facts, review questions in Social Studies or Science, or just for fun! Teachers could also have their students copy their finished board game to create an Answer Key.
Teachers can use this as a final assessment or culminating project to finish a unit. Then, students will enjoy celebrating their achievement by playing their games together at the end! Teachers can print out and laminate the games and set them up in different stations around the room so that students can travel around and try out each one. This could also be a great addition to a parent's night, science or math fair, or other school community showcase.
Remember teachers, for each assignment in Storyboard That you can add as many templates as you wish! This can help to differentiate assignments but also increases engagement by providing student choice. For more templates to add to this assignment, check out our game poster templates!

Due Date:
Objective: Create a board game that demonstrates your understanding of our unit.
Student Instructions:
Anima a los estudiantes a compartir sus juegos y dar retroalimentación constructiva entre ellos. La revisión entre pares fomenta el pensamiento crítico y ayuda a los estudiantes a mejorar sus diseños de juegos.
Explica cómo debe ser una retroalimentación útil—enfócate en sugerencias específicas y comentarios positivos. Los estudiantes se sienten más cómodos compartiendo cuando las expectativas son claras.
Pide a los estudiantes que roten y jueguen los juegos de los demás en pequeños grupos. Esto expone a los estudiantes a una variedad de ideas y les permite ver cómo funcionan diferentes diseños en acción.
Da a los estudiantes un formulario breve con indicaciones como “Una cosa que me gustó...” y “Una sugerencia que tengo...”. Esto mantiene la retroalimentación enfocada y práctica.
Permite a los estudiantes leer su retroalimentación y realizar mejoras rápidas en sus juegos. Este paso refuerza el valor de la crítica constructiva y ayuda a los estudiantes a hacerse responsables de su aprendizaje.
Board game projects are a fun, interactive way to review a unit. Have students create games that include questions and challenges based on key unit concepts. This reinforces learning and lets students demonstrate understanding while playing with classmates.
Easy steps include: 1) Choose a topic or review questions; 2) Design the board and add spaces, numbers, or symbols; 3) Write instructions; 4) Create question cards or prompts; 5) Make or choose tokens; 6) Print and laminate for durability.
Differentiate by offering multiple templates, allowing students to choose topics, or adjusting complexity of questions. You can also let students work alone or with partners and provide extra support or challenge as needed.
Board game activities work well in math, science, social studies, and language arts. They're great for reinforcing facts, vocabulary, or comprehension—basically any subject where review questions or concepts can be included in gameplay.
Yes! Student-made board games are excellent as a final assessment or culminating project. They show understanding of the unit and encourage creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
