Attention Guiders: We’re excited to introduce a custom board game designed to enhance your activities with the Embers! This versatile game is ideal for icebreakers, games nights, or as part of the Being You or Different Together Badge activities.

Game Overview:
Our board game is designed to foster connection and fun, featuring questions on each space of the game board that prompt players to share interesting facts about themselves.

How to Facilitate the Game:

1. Setup: Print out the game board from the provided PNG or PDF file. Ensure your print settings are adjusted to fill the entire page for optimal results.
2. Printing Instructions:

• PDF: Open the PDF file, select “Print,” and choose the option to scale the document to fit the page size. Print on standard paper or card stock for better durability.
• PNG: Open the PNG file in an image viewer or editor. Select “Print” and adjust settings to ensure the image scales to fill the page. Print on high-quality paper or card stock.

1. Preparing the Game Board:

• For added stability, tape or Mod Podge/glue the printed game board to a piece of cardboard.

1. Game Pieces:

• Use small items such as buttons, coins, LEGO pieces, or small figurines as game pieces. Each player should have a unique piece to move around the board.
• Alternatively, craft your own game pieces using materials like clay or beads.

1. Dice:

• You can use any type of die from 3-sided to 6-sided, but only one die is needed for gameplay. If you don’t have a die, use an online dice roller or create a makeshift die from a small box with numbered sides.

Game Play:

• Players take turns rolling the die and moving their game piece according to the number rolled.
• When landing on a space, players answer the question written on that space about themselves. This encourages sharing and helps players learn more about each other.

Why It’s Effective:

• Icebreaker Success: Perfect for starting sessions or integrating new members, helping everyone feel welcomed and engaged.
• Games Night Essential: A great addition to games nights, blending fun with team-building.
• Badge Integration: Complements the Being You and Different Together Badge activities, reinforcing themes of self-expression and inclusivity.

Tips for Guiders:

• Encourage all players to participate and be open to sharing.
• Use the game as a tool to spark conversations and build connections among the Embers.
• Feel free to adapt the game by adding new questions or adjusting the format to suit your group’s needs.

This board game is a fantastic way to make your sessions more interactive and enjoyable. Enjoy guiding and seeing the Embers connect in a fun, memorable way!

Happy guiding and game playing! 🎲✨
