Card Shark

Materials: A deck of playing cards
Stick on labels - one per card

Prep: Identify one topic per card and write on a label then stick to the card. E.G. Fame.

How the activity is conducted:
  1. The prepard cards are placed on a table with the topic face down.
  2. The learners are asked to select a card at random and look at it.
  3. Then learners pair up.
  4. Using the topic on their cards, they take turns creating questions about that topic to ask their partners.
  5. E.G. Topic - Fame Question - if you could be famous who would you be and why?
  6. Each pair takes a turn asking the question and listening to the answers.

This activity comes from my co-author, Ken Bellemare.
He has a wonderful way of using inexpensive materials that you can find anywhere and using them in great group activities.
