The End of the Beginning A3 Board Game [Fully Editable]

This colourful A3 board game is fully editable. You can change the contents of any of any square on the board.

This particular version of the game is called, ‘The End of the Beginning’, as each space either has the start of a word or the end of one. When children land on a space they have to give an example word and spell it. To add difficulty you could also ask them to use it in context.

There are so many other ways you an adapt this for different lessons. Here are a few more examples…

a) Maths
Write calculations in each box for the children to solve

b) Reading
Write tricky phonics words for children to work on their pronunciation or you could also have the children use the word in context in a sentence or explain its definition etc.

c) Science
Write questions relating to your topic in the box, or add in question spaces where children have to pick up a card with a question on. You could even get the class to create their own question cards.

All you need for the game is a dice and between 2-5 players. Each of the ideas above follow the same style game play. That is, if you are able to solve the problems or read the words in the space you land on, then you are able to remain there. If not, then you go back to where you were before you rolled.

You can also get creative and add in your own special spaces such as miss a go or roll again. Or you can get really creative and add in special reasons. For example, you helped a friend in need, move forward four spaces, or you fell off your bike and broke your head, miss a go. etc.
