Instructional Ideas

• Copy and laminate game pieces for continued use with little wear and tear
• Place the game in a manilla envelope for pupils to play when they finish a task early 
• Give candy as a prize for those that answer the most questions correctly 

Classroom Considerations

• Copies look best in color, but black and white copies will suffice  

Pros

• Offers another method of showing the presentation if technology is not available
