Here are the Four Levels between Silly and Serious.
There are four different kinds of cards.
Fix the Mistake
Cards tell about
someone who is
making a mistake by
being either too silly
or too serious. Try to
find out what their
mistake is.
What Level? Cards
ask questions about
what level the person
in the card should be
on in different
situations.
Your Own Life Cards
ask you questions
about what you
should do in your own
life to be on the right
level between Serious
and Silly.
Act it Out! Cards
give you instructions
for pretend role plays.
These help you
understand how
people talk and act on
the different levels
between Silly and
Serious.
Now you are ready
to play!
We have shuffled
the cards so they
are in random
order.
Do your best to
give a good answer
for each card!
