Making of your own - "Board Games"

"Do-it-yourself" projects always inspire me, because as an educator, I know that it is a real pleasure to create anything. Even children love to make or create things. Like making board games is another fun activity which can be adopted as a hobby. As creativity is involved in making 'Board Games' yourself.

What do you need to make your own board game?

These supplies can help you get started making your own games and are available at most craft stores:

White foam board
Pencils
Colored marking pens
Construction paper
Dice
Large glass beads, novelty erasers (dinosaurs, cars, spaceships, etc.), or other good placeholders
Index cards
Laminate sheets (to make your game more permanent)

If you have access to a computer, you can use it to print photos or text instead of drawing and lettering them by hand.

These Web sites have ideas for board games and other tabletop games. Some are old; some are not. Whatever you choose, remember that the most important rule of any game is to have fun.
