I am incredibly fortunate to work where I work. The years that I was a counselor in one school, I had a nice little budget that came out to about $1.00 per student. In spite of this, I spent a lot of time making things by hand. I have bulletin boards, books, and various resources that I free-handed, because I just couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I thank my lucky stars that I did that, as it was preparing me for my new life as a travelling counselor where I have no budget.
Today, I started prepping for a social group session and decided I wanted to make a game. I, of course, looked on Pinterest first, and quickly realized that it would be just as easy for me to make a game by myself. Hmmmm, no game board template big enough, and my new laptop is not yet hooked up to the printer at this school... What to do?
I decided to quickly draw up my own game board template. No, it's not perfect, but there's something really charming about those imperfections, right? Right?!?! :-O
You can take the printed picture to your copier and magnify it to a larger size. I have mine on 11x17 paper, and it seems to be the perfect size for a small group.
