The varieties of question game boards are unlimited.

Things You'll Need

Cardboard
Scissors or box cutter
Cards
Dials or dice

Instructions

- 1
  Cut out a large, square piece of cardboard to build your game board out of. If you desire, you can be creative with this part of the project and make your board an interesting shape. For example, since you are making a question game, you can cut your board to look like a question mark.
- 2
  Decide if you want your game to have a theme. If not, you may just want a random trivia game. If you do want a theme, you may want to design your board to reflect that theme. For example, if you want the game to be questions about cats, you can select game pieces that have something to do with cats and color or decorate your board accordingly.

  Determine whether you want your game to be a dial, dice or points value game. For example, if you have a dial game, the player can spin the dial and the number or color they land on will determine what space they land on. Or, players can pull cards with questions on them and move forward according to correct or incorrect answers.

  Write out or gather the questions for the game on cards. The questions can be random trivia or can have a focus, such as countries of the world or science based questions. Determine any specific rules for the game and do a trial run to see if the rules make sense and the game is playable.
