It would be a great game to use with the Reading Specialist on my team as a cross-curricular activity when she reads Treasure Island. I could even have the students write a short paragraph about a character from Treasure Island and use some of the new words they learned from the game board. Just a thought. I also liked the comment from the one teacher who said it "could be easily customized to fit other content."
