Game Ideas for Poster Board
Creating games with poster board is one way to engage children in an art project. Games can be made for a range of ages using poster boards and various craft materials. Developing poster board games that can be used as an educational tool is one idea to consider.
Spinning Wheel
Create a game using a spinning wheel where children will spin the wheel and, depending on where the arrow points, a child with her game piece in that area will answer a question or get to ask a question. Create cards for each colored section or based on particular concepts like favorite things or even a math question. Purchase different colored poster boards, along with construction paper, markers and any other craft supplies you think you may need. Place a spinning wheel or arrow in the center on a poster board.
Put On a Show
Another game idea using poster boards is making a puppet stage box for putting on a puppet show. One type of game that can be developed is to write an initial line for the script and then let each child add a new, improvised line to create a story.
Another approach is to use poster boards to create a series of giant cards with a hole cut out in the center of each. A child can hold the poster board that he has decorated in front of him to respond to specific questions, with each poster board corresponding to a specific type of question. For example, one poster board can be a decorated with letters, another can be covered with numbers and mathematical symbols.
Poster Board Boxes
Build various colored boxes out of poster board to create a series of grab boxes that children can pick cards or objects out of. The child who picks three of a kind or, in the case of letters or numbers being placed in the box, the child who completes a specific word first or math equation wins. The children must choose each time which box to grab from.
