Characters of board games
|
Hi Everybody,
I �m doing a lesson with "Board Games" as its theme. Can anyone list some famous characters on famous board games. I got some only:
1. Candyland ( Mr. Mint, King Kandy, Princess Lolly etc)
2. Clue ( Miss Scarlet, Reverend Green, Colonel Mustard etc)
3. Chess ( King, Bishop, Knight etc)
4. Sleeping Queens ( Pancake Queens etc)-this one is card game
I �ll prefer characters with personalities and specific, I mean those in chess are quite general ( King, Bishop) but those in Candyland and Clue are specific ( Princess Frostine, Miss Scarlet).
p/s: I �m sorry, I really need your help to give some ideas. Please

Hi,
"Can anyone list some famous characters on famous board games"
The caracters from nursary Rhymes: The Queens of Hearts, the King from the "Sing a song of sixpence", baker �s man from Pat-a-cake, Humpty-Dumpty, Yankee Doodle, Miss Muffet, Three little Piggy, Mistress Mary, Black sheep, Old woman who lived in a shoe and so on.
I have a 100- piece puzzle from Ravensburger featuring all this characters. It �s one of the best companies of puzzle-makers. The kids love to make that puzzle and find characters from the nursary rhymes. Not a boad game, but a game :)
