On the front of the box, put the person's name and a picture or pictures about the person. 3. On one side of your box put a time line. You'll need at least 10 key facts beginning with the person's birth date. 4. For the back of your box, design a game that includes information or key words about your person. A crossword puzzle, word find, scrambled letters, "Monopoly," etc. would all be appropriate. When possible, provide an answer key. Be sure your game is informative!!! 5. You will also need a "Fun Facts" "Did You Know," obituary, or summary telling about your person. For the most part, the information you share here should be different from the facts included in your time line. This should go on the back unless you need the entire space for your game.
