1. Show and Tell-Deb made some cool PicCollage board games for her second graders. We ran into a few bumps in the road.
A. When making a gameboard, create gameboard in PicCollage and save to camera.
B. Create a new PicCollage and CHOOSE A BACKGROUND, use photo icon, select gameboard you made.
C. Create stickers as pieces and game is ready.
