Home education childrens lessons (June/July term) - Design and make a board game

✨ Children’s Art Classes – Design & Make Your Own Board Game! ✨

Let your imagination run wild as you create a completely original board game from scratch! Whether your theme is animals, takeaways, mythical creatures, flowers, or something totally unique, this term is all about bringing your ideas to life.

Inspired by classics like Monopoly, Mouse Trap, Scrabble, or Snakes and Ladders, you’ll design your game however you like!

Throughout the term, we’ll create every part of the game together:

• The game board

• Playing pieces

• Cards and tokens

• Rules and challenges

• Special features and decorations

Then comes the exciting final stage — the big build! You’ll make every element functional, creative, and fun to play.

Get ready for a fantastic term full of creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on making. At the end, you’ll take home your very own finished board game to enjoy with friends and family! 🎲

About the Classes

Creative classes are an important part of children’s development. Art encourages imagination, builds confidence, supports emotional expression, and strengthens problem-solving and fine-motor skills.
My lessons are designed to be fun, pressure-free, and accessible for all abilities, offering children the chance to explore different artistic materials and techniques.

Helen, the artist and tutor, is fully DBS checked.

Parents can either remain throughout the sessions or you can leave the children. Tea, coffee and dilute juice will be available.
