Sea Shell Board Game


Inspiration: sea shells
Target Goal: Children will expressively identify the ABC's, colors and shapes.
Age: 3 years and up

Supplies:
Sea Shells (use for game piece)
Markers
Pencil
Stickers
Dice
White paper cut into 1.5x2 inches for game cards
11x14 inch Poster Board

1) Draw the outline of the board game using a pencil so you can erase if you make mistakes.
2) Go over the pencil outline once you have completed your desired design with a marker.
3) Add stickers and glitter to decorate the game board.
4) Add the sea shell for game pieces.
5) Make game cards.  Write the uppercase and lowercase letters on the 1.5x2inch pieces of paper to be used as the game cards.
Directions:
All players choose a shell and put it on the start space.  The group decides who goes first.  The first person picks a card from the stack and says the name of the letter out loud. If they are correct in identifying the letter the player rolls the dice and moves their shell to the appropriate space. Repeat these steps with all players until someone wins by making it to the space labeled finish! 

Modifications:
You can target other goals such as colors and shapes. 
Enjoy!
