No rules...awesome! Or is it? It's tough for young learners to think about what would happen if a rule didn't exist, but understanding the rules and where they come from helps keep everyone safe. Youngsters write a rule on the front of an index card and trade cards with another partner. Then, on the back of the new card, learners write what would happen if this rule didn't exist.
