In part I'm going to show you how to edit your board game, so you can edit the aspect and create instructions. Instructions from the original website: https://www.flippity.net/BoardGame.htm Want to Make Your Own Board Game? Step 1: Modify the Google Spreadsheet Template Make a copy of this template. (You'll need to sign-in with your Google account.) Edit the Appearance for each board game space. You may use images, HTML color names or HTML color codes. (Spaces automatically add a white gradient in the upper-left corner.) Optional: Add an Instruction to appear on specific spaces. If you wish to use a deck of game cards, edit the Card cells on the Card Deck 1 tab. You may also add an Answer to each card which players can check during the game. You may also specify a second deck of game cards on the Card Deck 2 tab. Edit the URL settings on the Materials tab. Specify images for up to eight game tokens. Specify images or colors for each side of up to three dice (each die is six-sided). Specify card colors and symbols for up to two decks of game cards. Specify a link to your own game instructions (website, Google Doc, etc.) Name your board game by changing the name of the worksheet (at the bottom). Do not edit any cell with a blue background. Do not add or rearrange worksheets (tabs). Step 2: Publish Your Spreadsheet Go to File, Publish to the Web…, then click Publish. Step 3: Get Your Flippity.net Link Click on the Get the Link Here tab of the template (at the bottom). Click on the Flippity.net link to play your board game. Step 4: Bookmark and Share Bookmark the page to find it again quickly. Share the Flippity.net link with anyone you want to play your board game. Frequently Asked Questions Can students play the board game remotely? No, students must play on one device, either by being physically present or by screen sharing. Can I use a different number of spaces? No, the game board is designed to have 45 spaces. Use one die for a slower game; use two or three dice for a quicker game. How do I use images and other multimedia? Images You must use the URL (address) of a picture you find on the web. URLs must end in ".gif", ".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg", or ".webp". You cannot use Google Drive to store your images. You can use Google Drawings. Use the "Publish to the web…" link. Images are automatically resized. Board Game Spaces & Materials Images Simply paste the URL of a picture in the appropriate cell. Instructions and Cards Images Somewhere in the appropriate cell, type [[Image: followed by the image URL, followed by ]]. e.g. [[Image:https://flippity.net/images/BG-Examples-Peppermint.png]] You may include text before or after the image. YouTube Videos Somewhere in the appropriate cell, type [[ followed by YouTube's "Share this video" link followed by ]]. e.g. [[https://youtu.be/sZrOxm5Gszk]] You may include text before or after the video.

Links will automatically open a new tab/window. EquatIO Once you have inserted all your EquatIO equations, use Find/Replace to replace all instances of =IMAGE(" with [[Image: and all instances of ") with ]] e.g [[Image:https://equatio-api.texthelp.com/svg/%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7Bx-2%7D]] You may include text before or after the equation.
