Using Microsoft Word to make a Game Point Board!

Making therapy materials can be easy if you use your

computer as a tool. Your Game Point Board can have

questions, pictures, letters, numbers, or whatever you are

working on during the term. It is also appropriate for any

age and subject. Here are the steps:

1.Open a New word document.

2.Go to Table, then Insert Table.

3.Change the number of columns to 4

4.For a thick border, go to Edit, and Select All, then

Format and Borders and Shading.

5.Under Borders, click All and under width, click 3 pt,

then click OK.

6.While the table is still highlighted, click on Center

to center all the text (you can also find this under

Format, Paragraph, and Alignment).

7.While the table is still highlighted, click on Table,

Cell Height and Width. In the dialogue box, click on

the tab Row, then change the Height from Auto to

Exactly and in the box At: change the number to 50.

Click OK.

8.While the table is still highlighted, change the font

to 20pt.

9.Put category labels in the top row.

10.Type in a number score in each box.

11.Put your cursor at the bottom of the page and go to

Edit, Select All, Edit, and Copy.

12.If you want your game on two separate pages, put your

cursor at the bottom of the page and go to Insert,

Break and click on Page Break then OK. If you want

your game on one page, skip this step.

13.Your cursor will now be on the second page or at the

bottom of your game board. Go to Edit, and click on

Paste. The Game Board will be duplicated.

14.On the second Game Board, highlight the number under

the category and change the font to 12, then type in a

question or comment that requires an answer.

15.Replace all the numbers with a question that

corresponds to the category.

16.When the student answers the question or responds

correctly to the directions, then they get the

corresponding points. If they have difficulty with

math, show them how to use a calculator or add the

points for them.

If you would like to see pictures with these directions,

If you would like to download a Word document file with a

game board already made and ready to use as a template,

then go to http://www.speechtx.com/technology.htm and click
