How to Play - Lakeshore Learning

This easy-to-play game is a great way to practice essential language concepts with the whole class! As
students match up the answers on their cards with questions on other students’ cards, they get valuable practice with essential language skills.
How to Play
• Download and print the cards. Cut them apart on the dotted lines.
•H
and out one card to each student. If there are fewer than 35 students in your class, some will get
more than one card. (In order to play the game correctly, all of the cards need to be played. Play can
start with any card in the set.)
•C
hoose a student to go first, and have her read her card aloud. For example, the first student might
read, “Who has the past-tense verb in this sentence? ‘The crowd cheered loudly.’ ”
•T
he student who has the card with the word “cheered” then reads that answer aloud: “I have
cheered.” He will read the question at the bottom of his card, and the student with the card that
answers the question responds.
• E very card in the set is connected to a card before it and a card after it. To keep the game moving at
a quick pace, all students need to pay attention to every question that’s asked!
•P
lay continues in this fashion until all of the cards have been played. The game will end with the same
student who started play.
