There are no right or wrong answers, helping create an inclusive and confidence-building environment for all ability levels.

The board game is designed to be visually clear, easy to prepare, and simple to use, making it an ideal low-prep option for busy activity directors. For the best experience, we recommend printing the board in A3 size so the spaces and visuals are larger and easier for residents to see and interact with. Laminating the board is also recommended for added durability and long-term reuse.

This resource can be purchased individually or as part of our monthly themed packs, designed to make planning easier while keeping your calendar full of meaningful, engaging activities.

It is included in the July pack, “Freedom July”, a collection of 20+ ready-to-print activities and décor designed to save you hours of prep while making your month engaging, meaningful, and fun.
