We are parents with two children, and we created Starting LinesTM in our spare time to combat the creativity crisis (a documented decline in creativity in children in the US since the 1990s). We believe in the importance and power of creativity and we are happy you do too! We created this printable version to make it easier and less costly for teachers, coaches, and counselors to play this game with large groups. Help us continue our work by sharing the word about Starting LinesTM by recommending the table top game to your participants and encouraging the purchase of this printable version to other teachers.

By purchasing it, you are free to reproduce it as needed for your own teaching/facilitating efforts; however, please do not copy it for other teachers or colleagues. If someone is interested in using it in their classroom, please direct them to startinglinesgame.com to purchase their copy. Thank you for helping us make this game affordable for teachers.
