Indoor Life-size Boardgame

Indoor Life-Size Boardgame

This boardgame is one that my boyfriend and I made up to play with my daughter on a rainy day.
We felt bad that when it rains there is not much activity to do in the house besides watch movies or play video games and we want our daughter to stay active. So we came up with a game that keeps her moving, keeping her thinking and keeps her entertained.

(I'll have to put up some pictures of us playing the game so you can see it in action. I just wanted to get this up as soon as I could because it is actually going to be raining the next couple of days.)

The board game pieces we make on the computer, print them out and then lay them down in a trail through the living room, dining room and kitchen. 


The Rainy Day Indoor Life-Sized Board Game

How many can play: 1-4

Age range: 5-7
*Note: This game is designed for a six year old who just turned six a couple months ago so it is not a competitive game but a learning game!

How to Play: Start at the 'Start Here' board piece and move one game piece at a time. Perform the action on the board game piece, if you win move to the next piece. If you loose you must do a math problem or spell a word (players choice) before you can move to the next piece!

Supplies:
The Print Outs/Board Pieces (see below)
Handful of Pennies
Solo/Styrofoam Cups
Trash Can
Crumpled Paper (to throw into the trash can)
