Even small children can adapt Monoply to include 'grandmas house' and the local supermarket. Just changing the playing board without changing the rules is an easy way to get the satisfaction without the difficulty of trying to get rules that hang together nicely.
Other games that adapt well to make your own board games are map based games such as Ticket to Ride and Risk. Create your own fantasy map - or sneak in some geography by getting the children to design something around a particular country. Once you have a few successes under your belt the children will be excited about designing their own completely new game! Brainstorm some different themes or concepts to try to come up with a new and different idea to make your own board game about.
You will need to think about the age group that will play. How many players will the game need? How will it work - will it be a dice or spinner based game or will you use cards to make it based on strategy. If you have played a few games then you will know that not all games are board based. Games like Carcassonne and the Settlers of Catan are tile based whilst some games like Yahtzee are designed around their playing pieces.
Think also about how someone would win the game - what would they need to do to be a winner? Will they know when they have won or lost?
Some games sort the winners and losers throughout the game so you know who is winning - but with other games like Agricola you often don't know until right at the end when you tally up the score. You can then get to the exciting part of drawing out your new game board and designing the playing pieces. If you can persuade them, try not to let the children spend too much love and care on this first prototype of the game.
