Block Posters - my new favorite web site - and the temple game from the OCD primary chorister

So I don't know if you have seen it, but the OCD Primary Chorister made this fabulous game board. However, it seems as if I am not the only one that was having problems with the pdf she attached that you could print and cut and paste to a posterboard. For me, when I looked at the pdf, the bottom right hand corner was completely missing. I wanted to be lazy and just ask her if she could post a normal sized game board as a pdf (and then tile that pdf as I have chronicled in a previous post) rather than the jpeg she posted, but instead, I followed her advice and went to blockposters.com. I had a jpeg or a png (I can't remember which one I saved it as) and I downloaded it to the site and I was able to print my poster! It has a logo in the bottom right hand corner, but I will totally take it! The logo doesn't get in the way of the artwork and I think that I am in love with this new site! I don't know if it's one of those things where you can only make so many prints and THEN they want you to pay for the service, but it worked for now, which is awesome.

And since I was able to get a pdf of the game in its enlarged state, I now have it on my computer. I won't post a link, since it is not my work, but if you would like a copy of my pdf, email me at :

In preparation for this game, I counted the types of spaces in the game board
Text Bubbles: 16 (which, when landed on, you read a line of text from a song and omit one word and have the child guess the word)
Question Marks: 14 (which, when landed on, you ask a question that can be answered by the songs)
Notes: 14 (which, when landed on, the primary sings a line of a song)
Stars: 7

The OCD Primary chorister provided an example for the text bubble and the question marks, but I have compiled a list for each category
