Help Tom Build a

Tree House
By Elizabeth Doster
UNC-Charlotte

Scenario
Tom wants to build a tree house in
his backyard, but he needs your
help! He is low on material. Every
time you get a question right you
will gain a piece of material!

Directions
Roll the die and move your game piece
on the board. Select a question every
time you get to a cardboard box spot.
The ones you get right the more items
you can add to your box until you get
all of the pieces. You need 10 pieces of
material to build the house, but the
more materials you gain the better the
tree house will be!
