Who has a pet fish? Bingo! Meeting classmates just got a whole lot easier with this colorful template that asks individuals to find 16 classmates who meet the criteria defined in the matrix boxes. Consider extending the activity by charting the totals on a poster-sized version of the template and creating groups of similar responders. Perhaps fish owners could share care strategies and readers could share a favorite book.
