Materials & Setup
In Advance Game Preparation
- Prepare game cards (master, pp. 35-48) by copying, cutting apart, and folding each in half along the dotted line. In this way, you will create a “front” and “back” of the card. The front will have only the card type and corresponding shape on the game board. The back will contain the question, answer, and/or playing instructions. You may wish to laminate these cards, as well as an instruction card for each group.
