Welcome to My Version of HomeworkOPOLY!
Dear Fellow Educators, I was so excited about
this game that I went a little bonkers revising
and creating new features. You have my
permission to use my game board and
Chance/Community Lunchbox cards. To give
credit, where credit is due, I used the
HomeworkOPOLY idea from the following website
http//www.teachnet.com/homeworkopoly/ The
Teachnet website has the game board and cards for
you to download in PDF form. However, if you
want to use my blank game board, please do so.
The reason I like what I created, is because you
can type (using PowerPoint), each of the game
spots on the board. If you download the Teachnet
game, you either have to use what they created,
or write what you want on their game board. I
like computer writing rather than my own. I
am hoping these slides view ok on your computer.
Since I designed everything using a 22 inch
screen, I noticed a few of the slides came out a
little wacky when I went to print using a 15 inch
screen at school. Before I printed, I had to
adjust a few of the pictures and writing. If
this happens to you, just re-adjust things.
Thats what I did. I also created this on
PowerPoint 2007. However, I saved it in 2003 so
most people should be able to view and print.

You may print this whole presentation, or print
individual slides. If you want to add or change
the writing to fit your needs, just create a text
box where you need it.
Directions, Tips, and Tricks

• Type and add pictures to each of the game spots.
• Print on regular paper or card stock. Since I
  mounted my game on a magneticwhiteboard, I
  decided to print on regular paper. After
  printing, I glued one side of the game onto
  construction paper (4 sides altogether).
  Obviously, try and laminate the sides. Then,
  using magnets, I put the game up on my
  whiteboard. If you are going to put the game on
  a bulletin board, try printing on cardstock.
• The students colored and cut out little cars for
  their game pieces.

Rules
Create rules to fit your circumstances. Here is
what I did
1. Students roll the dice once a week on Friday
if they completed (in a satisfactory manner), all
of their homework. Occasionally, they were
rewarded to roll the dice during another day.
For example, if they did a perfect job during a
fire drill, everyone got to roll once. Or, one
time the Superintendent commented on how well
behaved they were. So, they all got to roll.
But, I dont go crazy. Once a week is plenty!

• 2. Using the idea from Teachnet and other
  educators, I have a classroom job called the
  GAME SHOW HOST (or hostess). The responsibility
  of the host is to monitor the rolling of the
  dice, making sure the student jumps his/her game
  marker correctly. The host also gives out the
  special tickets or Community Lunchbox/ Chance
  cards to winning students. One thing that has
  helped, is I trained the host to say this
• Game Show Host Your marker is on
  Library. (or whatever spot they are on)
  What spot are you
  on?
• Student My marker is on Library.
• Then, the student rolls the dice. This helps
  alleviate problems if the child doesnt move
  his/her marker correctly. There are less
  arguments.
• After seeing my game board, you are probably
  wishing you could print it out. Well, I am going
  to let you be creative and design your own. I
  designed a board that has characters and
  situations that are popular with the kids at this
  moment. It will be out of date by next year when
  Hannah Montana has stopped being popular. I am
  designing a math themed board which I will finish
  and put up in the early spring.
• Since my name is Mrs. Anglin, I named my game
  AnglinOPOLY. You can use your name in the game
  title too. Just delete my name (on slide____)
  and type your own. Or, you can use the
  Teachnets HomeworkOPOLY sign.

• Oh, by the way, when you see the directions on
  the game freetime passes, that say,

This computer pass is to be used during MAY Dos.
Here is what MAY Dos mean It is kind of a
California thingwe write on our boards
Must Dos
and May Dos Children MUST DO the assignments
listed before they can start any of the MAY
Dos. If you dont do the MAY DO MUST DO
procedure, just delete it from my cards. Feel
free to add or change anything on this PowerPoint
presentation.

This is what my gameboard looks like on my
whiteboard.

Chance, and Community Lunchbox cards. Keep or
change what you would like to have printed.
