Teacher Directions
•
Print off the cover, laminate it, and attach it to a large manila
envelope (with clasp) or gallon-size baggie. You can include all
of the pieces for this game in the envelope or baggie so it’s
easy to find and use.
•
This game plays much like classic Dominoes, except the
students match definitions to terms on the dominoes (cards).
•
I prefer to print the cards on thick, colored paper and to
laminate them so that they will last longer.
•
Students can play this game individually or with a partner.

Student Directions
1. Begin with the domino card labeled “START” and find
the piece that has the definition to match with the
term on the card.
2. Continue to match definitions to terms until the
“FINISH” piece is used.
3. Time yourself to see how fast you can make all of
the matches!
