START HERE/ FINISH HERE | Teen wakes 1/2hour earlier than usual. Move ahead 3 spaces. | You and teen are ready with time to spare. You sit, read, listen to R&B for 15 min, then leave. Advance 3 spaces. | Free lunch due to PD afternoon! Move ahead 1 space. |
You have two good books to read on your nightstand. You think about turning in before 10pm. Advance 1 space. | Rescheduled dental appointment in middle of the day. Go back 2 spaces. | ||
You improvise on subscription meal plan and make teen very happy. Advance to FINISH! | Poor route choice to dentist’s. Arrive 10 minutes late. Go back 1 space. | ||
Only 1/2 day of teaching, you have a little more evening energy than usual. Advance 2 spaces. | Back home, spend 30 minutes doomscrolling. Go back 1 space. | Return to work: clean up storage area, catch up on SeeSaw postings, last to leave office. Advance 1 space. | You and teen have zero cavities and are finished with 45 minutes of arrival. Advance 3 spaces. |
This is a creative move: game board format is a must to try out. Thanks for sharing.

A great way to share your day! Doomscrolling definitely should be a step back-maybe I would stop if I played this game!

Ha! I love this! If only it weren’t so…darn…REAL. You know, I’ve often told colleagues that there should be a video game: you’re a teacher trying to get from point A to point B, but all these obstacles keep popping in your way. And…the chance to turn in early? FABULOUS way to finish this game!

Thanks, Lainie! It really is a challenge for folks who don’t teach to truly grasp the possible ins and outs of any school day and that none of those days are ever the same. None.

Very clever slice. The formatting would drive me bonkers.
A fun read.

Now you’re just showing off with this whole “cool ways to play with writing thing.” 😉 Seriously, though: so much of what you’re doing is making me think. I keep writing little narratives, but this playfulness of yours has my brain spinning. Hmm… Thanks for being willing to share in new ways.
