Image Card Review
Materials: Image Cards 1– 5 and Seasons Cards
Spread out Image Cards 1– 5 face-down on a table. Ask a student to
choose a card but not show it to anyone else in the class. The student
must then perform an action or give a clue about the picture s/he is
holding. For example, for winter, a student may pretend to be shivering.
The rest of the class will guess what is being described by holding up the
related Season Card. Once the class has guessed the correct season,
have the student place the Image Card back onto the table and shuffle
the cards around for the next student to pick from.Domain-Related Trade Book or Student Choice
