My students LOVE it when I have a board game style challenge for them to participate in! They love the personalized characters and the rewards for their work.
This summer I created a Summer Sweetness Challenge. There is not a main goal with a single path that would reflect each player's progress (or lack of), but mini, self-selected goals, for each student to choose and work towards.
Each student's play piece is a person of royalty, with their own face, dressed in colors and accessories of their favorite sweet.
The number of spaces they are able to advance each week depends on their attendance, amount of time practiced, completion of theory assignments, ability to play their last song assigned, completion a bonus activity, and time spent playing games at Tonic Tutor.
Special Areas Include
Cupcake Caverns - If beginners can site read Bastien's "Chocolate Cake" they earn a real cupcake. Older students must build 12 cupcakes in less than 45 seconds to earn the prize.
...other areas to work towards are Bubble Gum Kingdom, Fruit Salad Forest, Red Vines Ravine, Watermelon Falls, Rock Candy Climb, and Popsicle Palace.
My players' pieces are finally created and ready to go! The board (with my child-like drawings, I need to invest in printer ink) is still in the works, but students can look at everything this week and take home their assignments and logs to complete and bring back next week to start the game!
