Law of the Land Game
This game is mostly geared towards the YW who are driving. The gameboard is life-size and the YW are the game pieces. Use it as is or have fun with it and mix it up some! Lots of different ways you could go with it!
Materials Needed:
A large die or spinner with numbers on it, (my advisor made a die out of foam) 4 Different colors of cardstock, 2 sheets of white cardstock, Tape, and 20 different road signs used in your area and a way to display them
Game Setup:
Check that your laws are similar to the ones included with the game. Print out game cards on cardstock - Pink for Wacky Laws, Blue for Driving Laws, Red for “Misbehavin’” and Yellow for “Player’s Choice”. Cut each card out. Using the 2 sheets of white cardstock, make black lines on both - these will be the 2 “jails”. Tape the different colors of cardstock, including the jails, on the floor in a game board type pattern, using more blue and pink than red and yellow. Place one jail near the beginning of the game board and one towards the end. The signs will be used as part of the “Driving Laws” category.
Game Play:
Each player rolls the die. They advance the number that is rolled. That will be each player’s starting point and the order they will play. On the next turn, each player will have a card read to them that corresponds to the color they are standing on. For the wacky category (pink), a law that is true, but doesn’t make much sense will be read and the player must come up with a reason for why someone thought a law like that would be necessary. When they come up with a reason, they will roll the die and advance the number that is rolled. That will be their category for their next turn. For the Driving Category (blue), the player will be asked a question or asked to identify a road sign. When they answer correctly, they may roll the die and advance. The color they land on will be their category for the next turn.
For the Misbehavin’ category (red), the player must follow the directions on the card. If the player is sent to jail, she must wait until her next turn to roll the die. She must roll a 5 to get out of jail. She will advance 5 and continue her play on the next round.
If a player lands on jail, without having been sent to jail, she may choose the category she’d like to play from - she doesn’t have to stay in jail.
If a player lands on a yellow square, she may choose which category to play from.
The first one to reach the finish line first wins!
