Your board is reminiscent of the HipBone WaterBird board. I've been using Charles Cameron's HipBone games with my students for about 5 years now. They love them -- and so do I! If you haven't checked Charles' stuff out, you might really enjoy it. http://home.earthlink.net/~hipbone/ There is really no limit to how the games can be used. Since there are almost no right or wrong moves to make -- as long as the connection can be made, students are encouraged to think more deeply and in different ways than they might otherwise. That is always a good thing in my book! I hope you will blog about other attempts. Graham, your game looks great! Your board is reminiscent of the HipBone WaterBird board.

Was attempting to figure out how this could be used for the fomer, and if you have plans to use the activity for self-identity.
