Instructions and Ideas.
1
Make up a theme for the game. It could based on adventure, business, family life or something else. The object could be to reach a goal before the other players, or to eliminate them in some fashion.
2
Create the rules of the game. Write them down for your players to study.
3
Design the board on paper first. Decide how many spaces will appear on the board and what will happen on each space. Make sure you have an evenly divided number of good and bad things that happen on the board.
4
Make the actual board itself. You can use many dfferent types of materials, from cardboard and paper to finished wood and cloth.
5
Add the playing pieces. Small toys, figurines and pieces from other games can work. Make sure the pieces are noticeably different from one another.
6
Add the remaining objects and pieces. This includes dice, tokens, cards, play money and any other prizes included in the game.
7
Find a group of friends or family members to test out your new board game. Above all, make sure they have fun playing it.

!!!REQUIREMENTS!!!
I am going to be very strict with this project and I want to see time and effort was spent developing the game. I have recently seen students slacking in class (poor attendance, talking, not doing assignments on time or at all, not focusing during class lessons and this needs to change. I want you to step up and create a project that demonstrates your knowledge of ASL at an INTERMEDIATE LEVEL. I have worked hard to accomendate to all of you but you must understand that does not mean that less effort is put into our class meetings, assignments, midterms and exams. With that said, this project NEEDS to be done properly, executed correctly, requires game players to be at Intermediate Level II.
There are many ways to demonstrate your understanding of ASL at the Intermediate level (grammatical, vocaulary and cultural components need to be demonstrated). By crafting a game based on the topic studied, you can both show that your comprehention and receptive understanding of the material to create a fun game that you, your classmates and instructor can enjoy.
Difficulty: Moderate Level
Instructions.Things You'll Need:
Board game
Paper
Scissors
Glue
Tape
Coloring supplies
Computer
Images of ASL vocabulary should also be present (this could be on the playing cards, game board, box, or even create ABC's handshape play pieces with clay)
DVD for signed directions ( I will accept a flash drive as well) In the past I have allowed you to put your work on Youtube but for this assignment your DVD needs to be in your game box.
1
Purchase an inexpensive game board.
2
Craft your game after the game you purchased. Use the same set of rules to govern play. Simply make modifications to the board and cards to incorporate the subject matter.
3
You may use an existing game but it needs to be adatped completely to your game topic. You may cover board spaces with paper to rename them. For Example: If you are using a Monopoly board, you could recover the different property squares and label them with terms applicable to the subject for which you are completing the project. Park Place could become "Deaf Life" to incorporate a Cultural theme.
4
Glue or tape the paper over the original board squares. Use standard craft glue or clear tape to accomplish this goal.
5
You may want to create new cards to go with your game to incorporate your theme. Use your computer to model new cards after the original set. Keep the same general idea of each card; just change the terminology to match the subject for which you are completing the project. If, for example, you are creating a project about the Civil War, one of your cards could read, "Spotted a Confederate soldier. Must hide out. Miss one turn."
6
Use the game pieces provided with the game. To save time and effort, simply repurpose the pawns that came with your original game and use them as tokens for your new games or find them from other games to fit your theme.
7
Reword the instructions to incorporate your new theme. While the game play will follow the same principles as outlined in the original instructions, you can increase the degree to which the game reflects the desired topic--and create a more elaborate project--by changing words in the original directions periodically to add in the desired theme.
8
Cover the original game box in paper and design a new box lid. Redesign the cover to reflect the new theme that you have incorporated into your game.
9
Your game must have directions. These directions needs to look like an actual game. Find directions and follow them carefully (how many players, age, what the game includes, how to play it step by step, a brief description about why you should play it!)
10
PROFESSIONAL: I want this to look and feel like a real game. I must be playable, enjoyable, creative, and challenge us to use our Intermediate ASL sign skills appropriately.
