Homeworkopoly for SMART Boards
Back in 2002, I started playing Homeworkopoly with my students each week as a way to reward them for doing their homework. This is a game based on the traditional monopoly game. I printed off the game board, had it laminated, and used post-it flags as game pieces. Since obtaining a SMART interactive white board this year, I found a skeleton template online and adapted it to my class/school. Click here to download my version. I typed up the text for the chance and community lunch box cards into a word document, used the screen capture tool to create images of my text, and put them into the random image generator from the SMART notebook gallery. I then linked the brain binder space with a website with grammar exercises for my language arts classes. This can be easily adapted to any subject.

ReplyDeleteCan you help me understand a little more about using it? I am following you on twitter as teachdarnikar.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have an Eno Polyvision board this year. Wondering if your file would work with my board or will I need SMART board software for it to work? Thanks!

For this particular file, you will need the SMART notebook software to open it.
ReplyDeleteI started using Homeworkopoly this year with my kindergarteners. They love it. My homework turn in rate is now 100%!
