The Mississippi Children's Museum boasts a Hasbro-official giant Scrabble. ScrabbleĪmerica's favorite word game is also one of the most popular games to get the life-size treatment. Check it out at San Jose’s Discovery Meadow Park. Check out the photos on Attack of the Blog. Play Monopoly with a giant board and game pieces at Monopoly in the Park in San Jose. On G4's "Attack of the Show," Kevin Pereira, Candace Bailey, and Gillian Jacobs played a life-sized G4 version of the buzzing medical game. You can read about her project in the Craftster boards. Candy Land GardenĬraftster user KandeeCorner (and YouTube user eieioh1) created a garden based on the various iterations of the Candy Land game board. Laughing Squid has more videos and photos. San Francisco's famously winding Lombard Street was turned into the biggest version of Candy Land ever to celebrate the children's game's 60th anniversary in 2009. I was surprised there weren't more life-size versions of the candy-themed game, but the quality of these two jumbo versions makes up for the lack of other variations. These 'life-sized' versions of Monopoly aren't quite the size of the real locations named on the popular game's board, but they're still a lot bigger than the table-top version Guadalupe River. (Also: the pieces are harder to lose.) We've gathered up a collection of jumbo variations on classic board games-if you think we've missed a good one, let us know in the comments! Candy Land I am sure that each of your groups would be even more creative.Everyone's favorite board games get a whole lot more fun when they're super-sized. This was a game off the top of our heads. They sure had fun and we had popcorn for them to eat at any time which they wanted, so none were too bored waiting for their turn. Just raced and they really came up with some darling ideas. We had made up “blessing cards” and “choose the right” cards instead of “chance” and “community chest”. Tithing, missionary fund, spirit prison, etc. We taped it down on the cultural hall floor, divided it into spaces (as thegame), and substituted the names of the streets, railroads, taxes, jail, etc., for more celestial names i.e. Each square was large enough for “a team”, as this would take a long time to play. We did the life size “Monopoly” game using a large roll (5 foot tall) paper, donated by a paper company. I’m sorry that it has taken me so long to respond to this request. They are kind of forced to “deal” with each other. It works best when the genders are mixed. We had approximately 15 YM and 20 YW that night (too many). ![]() What I’d do different: I would split up the youth into classes (ages). We don’t want to wear it into the ground so we’ll wait awhile to play it again. I think this showed just how much they enjoyed it. ![]() Plus, they’re asked when we’re going to do it again. They were telling their parents about it when they picked them up to go home afterwards. If stored away the “game pieces” may be used over and over. When it’s not the team’s turn to play, maybe have the “bishop” (any other adult) go around and collect tithing and/or fastĪt the end tally up the money and see who won. It’s good to have two adults there to keep the kids occupied while not rolling the dice. It’s a fast paced game and I think it has to be to keep their interest after the initial excitement. The teams take turns just like the real game. Have them share responsibilities and decision making. You can actually have up to three on a team but I wouldn’t go over that amount. On a combined activity night with the YW, make teams by using one YM and one YW (more if needed) to where you have about 6-8 groups. We used some large dice such as fuzzy ones from the auto store. Use the actual monopoly money and play with the rules from the actual Monopoly game. You may make hotels & motels but may not have time to utilize them. On the night of the activity, we taped the real estate squares to the gym floor.įor the chance cards, we used 8 1/2 x 1 1 sheets of paper with the actual phrases from the real game. Then we wrote the name of the real estate on the white part with bold color markers or crayons. We used colored construction paper for the colored stripe at the top. The real estate cards were on pieces of white paper approximately 14″ x 20″. Before we played the game with the YW, the YM used one of their night activities to make the real estate, community chest and chance cards.
