CC Monopoly for Review is here!!


That's my son pointing to the state he wants to buy.  When you land on a state, you have to locate it on a blank US map and name the capital to buy it.  Before you can roll, you have to answer a question.  It's fun. 

I FINALLY finished it.  I had trouble with the board.  I decided to just print it out large at SAMS.  I printed mine 24x30 I think and it was less than $9 so that's still ok in my book.  You could print it out smaller but I wouldn't go too small or the states will be too small to fit the houses and read.  The directions are in the download, but I use the money, cars, houses, and dice from Monopoly Jr.   We outgrew it anyway.  You will also need a blank US map.  You could add your own questions to the Chance cards too.  I printed mine out on the perforated business cards.  The only "problem" we had was one question has you do the WHOLE timeline (with help from other players if needed), and they thought $1 was not nearly enough for that so we'll pay out $5 next time for that one.  So the file has 3 sheets of chance cards, the logo for the back, the directions, and the board.  If you have problems with the download let me know!

So, Here is the link. 

I hope you enjoy it if you grab it.  I would really appreciate it if you pointed your friends, etc. to my blog to grab the game.  Have fun!!

2 folder Latin Lapbook

This video may be helpful to you if you've never made a 2 folder (or one folder) lapbook before.  It goes through how I fold the folders and glue them together and how I close mine with a velcro tab. video
PS- I am finished with the Monopoly Review Game, I just need to pick up the game board from SAMS and see how that looks.  I had made it the same size as a Monopoly Junior Gameboard thinking I was going to Modge Podge it on there.  So.... I "cut it apart" into 4 sections and printed each out.  Then I wasn't overly thrilled with the results/time it took and thought a better idea would just be to print it out as a large print at SAMS.  It's only like $9 so that wasn't too bad.  I felt like this would be the easiest way to do it.  Of course, you can choose to print it out however you like.  All that to say, I need to drag myself over there to get it and make sure it looks good before putting it up.
