Included in this bundle you will find:

• A color and black and white board game and cards

• 64 (now updated to 72!!) fact or cap (true or false) game cards where students will learn answers to interesting questions as.... How were the sounds of the mob the Ghast created? What body part did Creepers originally use to kill players? What item did zombies drop originally? How many achievements are there in the game? What was the largest city ever built in Minecraft and what city was it based off of in real life? And so much more!

A perfect alternative to boring worksheets! Students will race across the board, trying to figure out if the information on the card is a fact or cap (true or false.)
