Makeover Madness!

When I started making therapy games and activities for my students, I didn't really know how to make them look as exciting as they really were.  At the time, I thought they were amazing and so did my students...thankfully.  Well, in the past year, I have learned a lot about how to make these games and activities look amazing.  So, my goal in the next year is to redo some of these therapy materials.  I have been putting off this large endeavor, until now!  Emily Yost, from Third In Hollywood, has set out a challenge (Makeover Madness) to makeover one of your current products.  I accepted the challenge, so here is the first of many upcoming product makeovers. 

The game that I chose was my 'Sports Themed Games for Basic Concepts'.  I absolutely loved this product and it was one of the favorites among the kids that I worked with.  They loved to pick out the game board (there are 5 options) and game pieces (there are 4 options).  I picked the game cards based on what goals the group was working on (feelings, antonyms/synonyms, prepositions, sequence words, following directions, size/quantity or colors/shapes).  There are 329 game cards, so this game never gets old for me or my students! 

Even though I loved this game, there were a few things that I did not like.  Here are the things that I didn't like. 

After a few hours of revamping, I kept the basic items in the games, but redid some backgrounds, graphics and text.  Here are the results!
