Child's Play


It Takes Two!


On seperate index cards, write pairs of words--up/down, big/little, hot/cold, tall/short, over/under, on/off, etc. Tape one word to each student's back. No student should know what word is taped to his or her back. Students must then discover their words by questioning other players. Of course, questions like "What is my word?" are strictly forbidden! Once a student discovers his or her word, he or she must find his or her partner.

An interesting variant is to assign names from famous pairs to each student--Simba & Nola, Tom & Jerry, Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin & Jasmine, etc.-
