1. A game board device for directing body movement in games or exercise comprising,at least one support frame, all such frames employed together defining a suitable game board of limited area;

  • a plurality of contact surfaces of relatively the same size and shape and providing part of modular units of generally rectangular shape and of generally the same size supported side by side relative to one another by one another within and filing each support frame employed, in a coordinated matrix pattern so that all the contact surfaces in each frame lie generally in a common plane and provide a continuous matrix of contact surfaces sufficiently close to one another that a player may move a selected body extremity from any contact surface in the matrix to any other without stepping up or down out of the general common plane, andillumination means which is normally-off for each module to separately and selectively illuminate each of the respective contact surfaces individually to cue movement to contact a newly illuminated contact surface by a selected body extremity, andswitching means to selectively connect the illumination means for various contact surfaces to a power source to control the sequence of illumination of a selected contact surface whereby a player is cued to move his selected body extremities to each newly illuminated contact surface as different selected contact surfaces in turn become illuminated and to turn off the illuminated surface at a predetermined time after contact has been made to keep dark the contact surfaces when they are not immediate in play.
