Teaching idea by Sabrina Ippolito. Board template by Tabletop Creator.

A customizable board-game template and guide for a first-year language class project about school life.

How can I use it?Make a Monopoly-style board game about your school with your first-year language class. Let students turn the property spaces into the classes they take and replace Jail with the Principal's Office. They can write the cards and rules using the language they have learned. Choose money from a country where the language is spoken. A French class might use Canadian dollars or euros; a Spanish class, euros or Paraguayan guaraníes; a Portuguese class, euros or Mozambican meticais. Have groups explain their choices in the target language. Then print the game and play it with your class! Check the Resources section for directions you can give your students.
