I made a rugby sevens olympic board game in class at parkvale school. We made it for fun and for other people to play. This is how i made it.

You will need;

• Cardboard
• A Ruler
• Pencil
• Paper   
• Vivid
• Playing pieces

This is how you play it;

• You need to find 3 more people to play with you
• You also need two dice ,the board, and 4 playing pieces
• To start the game you need to roll the dice how many numbers on the dice is how much spaces you go
• You can keep playing until you feel like stopping  

Reflection;

When I finished I felt proud of my work and of me. It was challenging thinking of what to write in each square on the board game. I used my persevering learning muscle.
