The winning team is the one that reaches the top first. Apart from quizzes, a magnetic board is also excellent for stories, family service talks, for displaying the major points at planning meetings and a multitude of other uses. It is as good outdoors as it is indoors, but can have the disadvantage of being rather heavy.
There are a number of companies that market magnetic boards but they do tend to be expensive. I would recommend that you consider making your own. I went down to a local sheet metal worker, told him what I needed and he cut me a piece of galvanized sheet metal, the kind used on heating and ventilating ducts. Manipulating a pair of tin snips, I rounded off the corners then painted the whole thing in white gloss paint.
The finishing touch was the two inch wide cloth tape around the edge as a border. Hey presto! Magnetic board making at a fraction of the shop price! If you decide to make a magnetic board, I would recommend that you fabricate it a little larger than your other boards so that it can also be used as a projection screen for a small group of children.
