Game  \nIn The Island of dr. lIbrIs , billy uses the help of book characters to tackle obstacles he encounters. The book It! game allows players to experience the fun that billy does in the book.  \nSET UP  \nReview the game components provided:  \n• ANSWER SHEET for the Game Master  \n• OBSTACLE CARDS (print 1 for each team on card stock or perforated business card sheets)  \n• For a less challenging game, provide players with the BOOK CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET and display the books for players to peruse in advance of the game.  \n• Consider the books that you know your players have read when selecting the obstacle cards to use in the game. There are also blank obstacle cards on each sheet, where you can fill in your own questions or ask players to do so.  \n• Make your own TRAIL PIECES out of pieces of construction paper, ideally with one color per team.  \nGAME PLAY  \nThe object of the game is to get to the special island—the Island of [Insert Game Master’s Name Here]—first. Players are challenged to embark on this quest, but there are many obstacles in their path. Players can pass each obstacle only with help from a well-known book character. The first team to reach the island wins.  \nUsing their Trail Pieces, each team should form a trail to the island with you, the Game Master, atthe center. Each team’s trail should be a straight line from the center, where you are standing. The Game Master will then hand an obstacle card to each team, and the race is on.  \nThe obstacle card will state the problem and give a clue to who can help. For example: You are face to face with an angry and very hungry bear. You need help from this character to sniff out honey on the island. Maybe your baby sibling knows who this is! Answer: Winnie-the-Pooh.  \nAs soon as a team thinks they know the answer, they will raise their hands and whisper it to the Game Master. If the answer is correct, the Game Master will confirm that they may move to the next Trail Piece and begin work on the next obstacle. If the answer is incorrect, the team stays on the same space and is given a new obstacle card.  \nAnd so it goes, until one team completes  \nthe quest and reaches the island!  \n~~ ~~  [ChrisGrabenstein.com](ChrisGrabenstein.com)  \nI llustration © 2015 by Gi lbert Ford  \nGame created by Erica Rand Silverman and Sharon Kennedy, former English teachers and co-founders of Room 228 Educational Consulting.  \n| Book It!
