The field of program evaluation lacks interactive teaching tools. To address this pedagogical issue, the authors developed a collaborative learning technique called Program Evaluation: The Board Game. The authors present the game and its development in this practitioner-oriented article. The evaluation board game is an adaptable teaching tool designed to familiarize players with basic history, theories, approaches, and tasks associated with conducting program evaluations. The basis of the game design came from an evaluation skills taxonomy and a review of popular texts in the evaluation field. The authors piloted the game and administered a postgame survey to assess its effectiveness. Results of the survey provided specific information about how the game contributed to learning and led to significant modifications and improvements in the game. The authors’ experience demonstrates that the board game can generate useful discussion about evaluation issues and teach foundational knowledge in the program evaluation field.
