Monopoly, Jr.

Our son and I played this game today.  We found it to be a much easier game than regular Monopoly; that was kind of nice, to say the least.   In  this game, the properties, really game booths, cost $1-$5 each.  Players who land on them, pay the person who bought the booth for the same amount.

Adaptations:  I will be changed the board a bit to use in my classroom. The money is going to be pretend money that look REAL (no $3 and $4 bills!).  On our game board, I wrote on post-it note tabs "50¢" or "$1.75") so that the players have to make change, not just exchange bills.

Constellation

This is a great game. I worried that it would take FOREVER and thought I would have to be an astrophysisist to answer the questions. But it was not that over-the-top.   As you play, you are to captutre pieces by landing on them and placing them in the corner of the board, then return to the starting constellation.  The questions are in three levels, so you can decide if you want all easy, medium or hard questions  - or leave it up to the person asking you the questions!

Adaptations: I will be making questions that my students need to know for testing to review Universe objectives. In addition, I am trying to decide if I want to highlight the content-related questions on the cards that come with the game. Many of the questions are directly related to what we teach in 5th grade.

I highly recommend this game if you can find it!
