Review Board games -
Split class in two groups to
have students play their
board games
Independent Practice
You and your group
members are employees at
a toy and board game
company and have been
hired to create a traditional
board game in the style of
Life, Candyland, or Chutes-
And-Ladders. The game is
intended to help young
people learn about
Mississippi Geography.
Geography includes
Location, Region,
Movement, Place, and
Human Interaction with the
Environment. This would
also include key events like
floods and hurricanes, as
well as key monuments
and lifestyles.
Your game should feature
questions about the
geography along with event
cards that reflect actual
events, such as,
“Hurricane! Its 1969 and
Camille is coming. Leave
for high ground, lose a
turn!” Or, “Teddy Roosevelt
refuses to shoot a cub on
his hunting trip to
Mississippi. Move forward
3 spaces.”

Mr. Salber
Questions should all be
based on facts about
Mississippi. These can be
multiple choice, true/false,
or fill-in-the-blank.
However, they should all
be of an appropriate
difficulty level and focused
on the most important
aspects, not just random
bits of obscure trivia.
Your game board should
have the name of the game
on it and be decorated,
neat, colorful, interesting,
and creative!
