Revolutionary War Board Game

We have finished Chapter 9 in Social Studies and will test over the chapter on Friday, April 15.
In addition, we have started a project where your child will be responsible for creating a board game that uses events, people, and places from the Revolutionary Way (before, during, and after). They have a simple packet of explanations in their home folder that includes a rubric that will be used to grade it.
It was given as an option to work alone or with a partner. Materials for the board game will need to be provided by you. This includes poster board(s), items to use as tokens, index cards to use for question cards, markers, dice, spinners, etc. I will allow some time for this project in class, but work will also need to be done at home.
The board game and all the necessary components will be due on Tuesday, April 26. Please discuss this project with your child. This is an opportunity for your child to understand time management when it comes to project work.

Here is a site to look online for ideas.
