• Creative Process for Making and Using an Educational Ludo Game

Step 1: Planning the Game

Select the educational focus, such as general knowledge, spelling, math, or social skills. Consider how to make Ludo's gameplay more educational. For instance, every coloured square or designated area on the board will stand for a learning task.

Step 2: Materials Needed

A dice and a pre-made Ludo board. Stickers or coloured markers (optional, for customisation). Tiny cards or pieces of paper with chores or enquiries on them. A box to hold the cards.

• Step 3: Customizing the Ludo Board

Assign responsibilities to zones: For instance, mark regions or squares with the labels "Math," "Spelling," "Fun Facts," and "Physical Activity." "-" Mark these areas on the board with stickers or markers to make them obvious.
Depictions: - Sketch basic symbols on the squares, such as a pencil for spelling and numbers for maths. "-" Use bright colours to appeal to kids between the ages of four and twelve.

Step 4: Preparing Question/Task Cards

• Create a set of questions/tasks for each category:

Spell the word 'computer.' is an example of a term that is easy to spell because computer is what we hear often and often.

• Fun Facts: Questions pertaining to general knowledge, such as "What colour is the sky?" Engage in enjoyable
• physical activities, such as "Hop on one foot five times." Sort the questions and tasks by category after writing them on a little card.

• Step 5: Gameplay Adaptation

• Include a rule: A player choose a card and answers the question or completes the job when they land on a square in a designated zone. They remain on the square if they are successful; if not, they take a step back.
• For instance: In the first illustration, the player falls on a red square that reads "Math." They solve the problem after selecting a maths card. The player moves out of home base, rolls a six, and choose a challenge card if they land in a task zone (Illustration 2).

• Step 6: Playing the Game

Assemble participants and go over the rules. Make sure the child comprehends the connection between the game and the educational assignments. - Launch the game and keep an eye on gameplay to promote enjoyment and learning.
