Card Types
- Question Cards: These test knowledge in a fun and interactive way. If the player answers correctly, they move ahead by two spaces. If they answer incorrectly, they remain in their position.
- Challenge Cards: These are activity-based and require the player to perform a task, often with the help of other family members. Successful completion allows the player to roll the dice again.
- Discussion Cards: Designed to promote open conversation, these cards may contain open-ended questions about feelings, opinions, or experiences.

End of the Game

The game concludes when all players reach the end. The objective isn’t about who finishes first but the journey, discussions, and experiences shared along the way.

Sample Cards for Each Category:

Being Me In My World: “Name two feelings you had today and share with the group.”
Celebrating Difference: “Challenge: Find something unique about each player and compliment them.”
Dreams and Goals: “Discussion: Talk about one thing you want to achieve this year.”
Healthy Me: “Perform ten jumping jacks together!”
Relationships: “Share a story about your best friend.”
Changing Me: “Talk about one change you noticed in yourself in the past year.”

"The Path of Discovery" is not just a game; it's an experience. It brings families together to share, discuss, challenge, and celebrate the myriad aspects of growth and learning. As players navigate through the board, they not only reinforce the curriculum but also strengthen the bonds of understanding and love within the family. Enjoy the journey of discovery, laughter, and togetherness!
