  • How to Play:
    • Open the links below
    • Print the game on card stock paper and cut out each card (laminate optional)
    • Pass out cards to each student randomly, each student should have one (if there is more than enough, some students can have two. If there are not enough two students can share on card.
    • The game starts by picking one student to read their card out loud to the rest of the class.
    • The rest of the students will look at their card to find out the answer to the read aloud question.
    • The corresponding student responses with the statement shown on their card and read aloud their question to the class.
    • When the question goes back to the first person, the game is finished.
    • Students may switch cards and play again.
