Abstract
A board game similar to Sorry or Parcheesi was developed. Students must answer chemistry questions correctly to move their game piece around the board. As in most board games, the winner is the person who gets his or her piece to the center first. The game is currently being used in the laboratory about a month and a half into the General Chemistry course. While one student group works with nomenclature exercises on the computer, the other group plays CheMoVEr using two different card decks. The first deck contains questions on balancing equations and identifying the types of equations. The second contains questions on predicting products from given reactants. The questions are designed to have short answers to keep the game active and interesting. Three other decks have been developed and are available for student use throughout the semester; they contain questions on element symbols, polyatomic ions, and inorganic nomenclature.
