Indoor sugoroku

An indoor sugoroku that uses the entire house as the playing field offers a different kind of excitement from the usual version.
Each player’s points increase or decrease during the game from their initial amount at the start, and the person with the highest total upon reaching the goal wins.
If you play it in a kindergarten or nursery school, using the whole facility will likely boost the children’s enthusiasm.
Since the events that affect point gains and losses determine the game’s quality, be sure to include ideas that participants will truly enjoy.
In conclusion
How did you like the handmade sugoroku ideas? Seeing them all together, it’s clear there are many different ways to enjoy sugoroku.
If there’s an idea you liked, try copying it and playing.
If drawing the grid feels like a hassle, you can make it easy by using one sticky note as one square and sticking them on the table to create a path.
