Weekly Tribes 2012-2013 “Number Please”

This is another great little strategy submitted by Kathy and Shirley, trainers in Canada.  I have added a few curriculum suggestions for any subject, and Kathy and Shirley have added some literacy modifications:

You will need at least one deck of cards.

Divide cards among groups; have someone in the group deal the cards.  Students use their card value to answer the following questions:

If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?

What two personal achievements are you proud of?

What are three things that make you laugh?

Name four things you do before you go to school in the morning.

What are your five top movies of all time?

What were your six favorite toys when you were a child?

Name seven things you ate or drank today.

What was your favorite TV show when you were eight?

What are you usually doing at nine o’clock in the evening?

What is one thing you think you will be doing ten years from now?

For academic content, consider these modifications
