These are very large files in PDF format. I have divided them into separate files to make them as small as possible. The files containing the playing surface (boards) are the largest.

Introduction

Errands - A vocabulary board game about going around town and getting all your errands done.

NOTE: The boards on which to play the game has been divided into two files. When they are placed together, they form a playing surface showing the entire board. You may want to print these out and laminate them to make them more durable. Most of the cards and playing pieces have also been divided into two separate files. The cards will have a "front" and back". You will need all the files listed to play the game.

NOTE: The board on which to play the games has been divided into two files. When they are placed together, they form a playing surface showing the entire board.

Make two copies of the front and one of each back to create the playing cards. You will need all the files listed to play the game.
