The document outlines activities for students to work in teams to design a board game to be sold at Christmas. It instructs students to choose a team name and roles, conduct market research on popular board games, analyze the data to inform their game design, name their product and create a slogan. The design team must then create the board game, instructions, and budget while the advertising team develops an advert and poster.
