I haven't decided exactly how the kids will earn a chance to play. Homework completion, behaviorally related, MY choice, all 3?! I like the idea of having the game open during morning work and letting the kids who completed their homework roll the dice and have the chance to earn a small reward. I also like the idea of it being semi-hands off for me. Suggestions? Please comment below!
