homeworkopoly, originally uploaded by quemarropa.
Everyone, it seems, is searching Classroom Displays for instant displays and bulletin boards this week. This one looks like a really useful one, combining a display with a visible record of homework returns.
Noreen says:
It’s available for free download. I attached magnetic tape along the back so it could stick to the side of my rolling shelves when students need to play. the rest of the time it hangs from my accordion wall from the book rings at the top
The site suggests:
In order for a student to play the game, he or she must complete their homework from the night before and hand it in to the teacher. This is how the student moves around the game board. If the student does not have their homework finished, they don’t get their chance to shake the die and move for the day (with exceptions, of course). Throughout the year, day by day you keep the game going. By starting at the beginning of the year everyone gets into it and by the end of the year everyone is doing their homework regularly.
Find it free to download and print out with full instructions at TeacherNet

after consulting several other teachers that have used homeworkopoly, contrary to the site’s advice it seems post practical to play once a week. since you should probably track students’ homework anyway, as long as a student turns in SOMETHING over the course of the week, they have an opportunity to play… and once students pass GO, you could give them an additional prize (to reward those who turn in everything!).

Thanks Noreen. I like the idea of everyone then having a chance to take part. I think teachers should feel free to adapt it to their own situations and not get too hung up on the ‘rules’ suggested on the site.

My fifth grade team are going to use the Homeworkopoly this year. I downloaded the game from http://www.homeworkopoly.com but I did not find the Let the Game Begin page you have in the middle of your gameboard. Could you please tell me where I can find a copy?

I’ve left a message for the teacher who originally did the display & I checked the site. You are right I can’t see the Let the Game begin bit either. You might have to make one yourself.
