How to Adapt Store Bought Games:
To adapt a store-bought game, play as you normally would, only this time if the player, for example, draws a blue card (token, stick or block) or lands on a blue space, they would answer a prompt in the blue category. Or say the game is directed by the roll of a dice: if they roll a 3, for example, the player would answer a prompt in the number 3 category.
How to Use as a Stand Alone Social Emotional Learning Game:
You can use this product without having a store bought game. This resource is also designed to work all on its own, too!
One option is to simply take turns rolling the DIY dice and answer the corresponding prompts. Another option is to play using one of the Make Your Own Boards. Roll either the numbered or colored dice and move the game pawn forward based on the number or color rolled.
There are 5 prompts/questions/challenges in each of the 6 sections. If you’d like to keep track of which prompts have been answered, simply check off the box to the left.
The Categories Are:
- TOP 3: Player shares what their 3 best/3 favorite/3 highest ranked/”top 3″ answers are.
- COMPLETE IT: Player completes the sentence.
- TRUE or FALSE: Player responds to the statement with either “true” or “false.”
- WHAT IF: Player responds by answering what they would do in a particular situation.
- RISK: Player answers and/or follows the directions, many of which are experiential and role-play based.
- YOU JUST: Player places themselves in a situation that hypothetically just happened and answer the prompt.
