Have you seen my [Vocab Land Game Board](https://go.sadlier.com/vocabulary-land-game)? Out of all of the amazing creations the graphics team has come up with based on my simple, typed ideas, it is my absolute favorite. However, I have a feeling that my students, and your students, can come up with equally awesome vocabulary game board designs if given a chance. That is why this week, instead of presenting you and your students with a fully finished vocabulary game board that only needs to have the vocabulary words filled in, I offer instead a blank template for students to create their own [vocabulary game](https://go.sadlier.com/vocabulary-board-game-activity), including a theme, name, and rules.

I might suggest that you ask students to use at least twenty words in the creation of their [vocabulary game](https://www.sadlier.com/school/vocabulary-games) – from the name itself to the various design elements, game board pieces, and directions.

I would give students at least a week to create their games and award prizes for most creative, best adherence to a theme, most unique, most literary connections, etc.

With the help of my graphics team, I oversaw the creation of this vocabulary activity download. My goal was to give you everything you need to create [vocabulary game boards](https://go.sadlier.com/vocabulary-board-game-activity) in your classroom. The 6-page download includes:

- Activity Directions
- Game Board Instruction Sheet
- Two Game Board Templates
- Game Piece Template
- Blank Game Cards

If you're an English Language Arts teacher, I promise you will want these [vocabulary resources](https://go.sadlier.com/vocabulary-board-game-activity)! This is an activity that will challenge students to use writing skills, creative thinking, vocabulary, and more. *Plus, you can use four of the templates for another lesson plan or game.*

Please, share pictures with me of your students’ best creations whether on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/vocabgal), [Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/vocabgal) or in the comments below – I can’t wait to see some amazing results!
