Homeworkopoly was created to encourage students to turn in their homework on a regular basis. The gameboard looks a lot like Monopoly, but has different rules and spaces. Those students who have turned in all of their assignments for the week (ON TIME!), will get a ticket to get a chance at a turn on the gameboard. It is played at the end of each week and continues throughout the year.
To play, students roll the dice, then move the number of spaces rolled. The student may not land on a prize, however, there is the possibility of winning some awesome rewards if you are lucky enough to land on a prize space:
Chance ~ choose a "Chance Card" from the deck. These cards might say something like "Choose a class job next week," "Bring in music during lunch," or something else that is special
Treasure Chest ~ choose from the Treasure Chest
Dancing Balloons ~ pick from the sticker/prize basket
Gumballs! ~ earn a piece of gum
Go! ~ GO directly to the treat jar
Chill with Emmitt ~ sit in the reading chair during read aloud for a day
Even or Odd? ~ guess whether the die will land on an even or odd number and win any prize
What Time is It? ~ give the current time and earn a stamp for your hand
The game continues week-to-week, with students moving around the gameboard. Each week, every child has the chance to get in on the game by completing his/her homework. Hopefully every week, every child is rolling the dice for the chance at some fabulous prizes!
