Even if you are not doing a Boardgame Theme, Homeworkopoly is a great addition to the classroom. I created a Homeworkopoly Board many moons ago. I thought it came out great at the time, but it didn't even compare to Kristen's AMAZING version of it. And guess what? She oh-so-generously shared the files over on her site. Don't act surprised. I sent you over there a few weeks ago with promises of awesomeness. I don't make these things up. :)

I love the idea of using carpet squares to make a life-size gameboard. I'm picturing it in the meeting area. I also had a vision of covering milkcrates to make dice seats. How cool would those be?

These would be adorable as nametags on desks.

This mom transformed her home into a Candyland Game. You could adapt some of these ideas for the classroom.

This idea would be cute with actual photos of the kids on a red/black checkerboard titled, "Check Us Out."
