Start at the bottom right corner, the square marked go and outlined in green. You’ll go around the board clockwise. Each time you pass this space, you may have a snack or fun drink! 
2️⃣ two ways to play — you can just move one space at a time and complete each prompt until you go all the way around. Or you can roll a die, either a physical one or online. And skip over the spots you’ve previously landed on.
✅ for each space you land on, complete that prompt. Some will take longer than others! 

❓ instructions for community chest and chance spaces are on the board.
💵 income tax = read three chapters
💎 luxury tax = take at least 15 minutes for self-care
🚂 each time you land on a railroad, read until you reach a train or other transportation related word. Words like railroad, train, plane, car, etc.
💡 electric company = change your lighting, temperature, or anything else electric related
🚰 water company = self-care, especially including water. Take a shower or bath. Wash your face and hands. Or drink a nice tall glass of water.
❌ when you land on “go to jail“ you will stay in the jail space until you’ve read three more chapters.  Don’t pass Go or have a snack or fun drink lol.  When you land on the regular jail space, you are “just visiting“.  It’s basically a free space. 
🚙 free parking is also a free space!
🎊 if you complete all of the prompts on the board, you win!
😊 For those who have more limited time or ability, feel free to just circle the board once and do whatever prompts you land on.
These look so fun!!!I am still trying to figure out how to post a picture on here or how to copy and put one of these boards on my thread.
Is there a link to directions you can post or a step by step you recommend?
These are always cute and fun, thank you :)

Vicki, you right click on the image above and copy image link
In your thread, you then post:
<,,,,,,,img src="" height="300"> (without the ,,,,,,,)
The image link you copy and pasted goes between the "" after img src. You can change the height to another number - like if 300 is not big enough for you, change to 400. You can shrink to 200, etc.

If you click on "some html is ok" there are a bunch of formatting tips.
I upload my pictures to my profile (add pictures), and use the https link to insert in the html. You can also adjust the size. The pictures below are 200 width and 200 height.
But yes, it's very cumbersome. Posting pictures on Discord is waaayyyy easier!

Yay!!

Also added is the photo challenge. You can post your photos here, though that can be a bit cumbersome, or on any social media you're on. The photo challenge will also be posted on Discord, IG and FB. Don't forget to tag us!
