Instructional Ideas

  • Laminate the goalposts and cards so that you can play this game more than once and over several years
  • Have kids come up with their facts and opinions to add to the stack of cards

Classroom Considerations

  • This is just a practice game; you'll likely need to provide some prior instruction to prepare learners for determining if a statement is a fact or an opinion

Pros

  • Sets up a straightforward process for partners to follow that will keep them on task and working with facts and opinion
  • It comes with four pages of fact and opinion cards, all of which are labeled with either fact or opinion in light gray to assist individuals as they play
  • Kids will enjoy the football theme

Cons

  • None
