Boggle Board
This boggle board has more rows then normal. My students from last year made me rethink the board. The students said they wanted more letters so they could make bigger words. So I changed it around a little bit from the normal boggle board.
I use this for word work for my 8th grades. I check it every two weeks and make copies back to back. They have to complete a board a week. I add the two weeks together and use it as a grade. I usually do:
80 points and above = A
