So glad I found this! We really needed something to practice our persuasive writing, and this was spot on (with the added fun of creating a game)!

This was a great project to complete near the end of the year to review things they have learned with each other. I even saved some to continue using for review!

I used this resource as part of a board game unit I taught. The writing task was great in helping my students to promote their games. Thanks.

My students loved this one just as much as the video game one. Thank you so much!
Amanda H. –
This saved me a lot of time. The design sheet for planning the board game layout wasn’t great. I would have had better results if I’d just used grid paper for that instead of the sheet creator included. The extras were great for early finishers.

Great project to use for end of year, or to buffer between units!

This was a great end of the year activity that kept my students engaged for a couple of weeks. They even recorded a commercial to sell their game. They had a blast with this activity!
