DIY Board Game


My kids LOVE board games of all sorts, so the idea of creating their own game had them pretty excited. Once you have the board and players made, you can change out what kind of game is played by creating different dice, questions and rules.

Things you’ll need:
Wooden Plaque
Wooden People
Masking tape
Acrylic paints in various colors including white
Permanent marker

Things to do:
1. Paint the plaque a solid color all over for the background and let it dry.

2. Tape off the top half of the people and paint the bottom half, each a different color. Add a face with the marker if you like.

3. Once the board” is dry, paint a path of squares with the white paint across or around the board. When the path is dry, outline the squares using the marker. Add details to the squares to decorate the game.

4. If desired, seal the board and people with clear polyurethane to protect it.
