Energy Game (insulators and conductors)

Based on a game from the EIA, students review electrical energy  - insulators and conductors with this game.  

16x20 gameboard and spinner

To use the spinner, put the point of a pencil through a paper clip in the center of the spinner.  Flick the paper clip and wait for it to stop on a section of the spinner.  If it is an insulator - move ahead 2 spaces.  If it is a conductor - move ahead 3 spaces.  

The gameboard has pit falls such as move ahead or move back, spin again and go back to start.

*Add color and game pieces such as novelty erasers, pawns, bottle caps or other markers.

With 4 players, this game takes about 15 minutes to play.  To extend time, use the added rule that if a player lands on a space occupied by another player - that player goes back to the start.
