Instructions: Glue game board to heavy paper or lightweight cardboard.  Leaving the road uncut, cut out the puzzle on the dotted lines.  Mix the puzzle pieces up, and place right side down near the game board.  You will need a different-color button for each player, and a die, or a number cube.

 To play: Each player chooses a button and places it on START.  Players then take turns rolling the die and moving the game pieces forward that many spaces.  When a player lands on a space with writing, he/she reads what it says aloud.  If it is something that will help a family be happy, the player selects a puzzle piece and puts it where he/she things it belongs in the center of the game board.  (The player may also move a placed puzzle piece, if he/she read is something that will not make a family happy, the next player takes a turn.  If a player lands on a STOP sign, it is the next players turn.  Continue going around the game board until the puzzle is complete.
