Week 2 Ideas

  1. In a pool- The floor is lined with a checker board and the players are the pieces. Normal checker rules apply. But when a person is ‘king’ the player gets another one of their players on their shoulders.
  2. Use of Lego characters. The goal is to rescue the Puppy that is placed in the center of the board. The first one there has to carry the puppy back home (to the starting position). The other players can chase down the lego man with the puppy to steal it. First one who makes it back home safe with the puppy wins. Roll (1) dice to move character. 2-4 players.
  3. Eels and escalators. Use pipe cleaners as the eels and popsicle sticks as the escalators. Land on eel, you must slide down to the tail. Land on an escalator, get to climb to the top. Goal is to make it from the bottom left of the board to the top right. Roll (1) dice to make moves. 2-4 players
  4. 4 in a row. Everyone starts off the board. Everyone has different colored chips. The goal is to get 4 of your color in a row, right to left; up and down; or diagonal. First person to get 4 in a row wins. Everyone gets to place one chip per turn. Everyone except the first player on the first turn, has to place a chip in a square that is next to another chip. 2-4 players
  5. The board is Velcro. Hang the board on a wall and set up the board like a normal chess or checkers game. To play, you must pick up the piece you want to move and you must stand back and throw the piece. Where ever it lands on the board, it must be played. Even if it landed on the wrong colored square. If the piece is thrown and doesn’t make it on the board, keep trying until the piece is played. After 3 tries the person must give up turn and place the piece back on the board in the original spot it was picked up from.
