Cause and Effect Game “Oh, snap



Cause and Effect Review Game “Snap!”

MATERIALS NEEDED: colored paper or cardstock, tall Pringles can w/lid, glue or tape, scissors, printer, and laminator

MAKING THE GAME:

1. Clean Pringles can.

2. Print Snap! whole sheet and glue or tape to cover Pringles can.

3. Print cause and effect examples and cut out. If possible, laminate for durability.

4. Print Snap! strips and cut out. If possible, laminate for durability.

5. Place all strips in Pringles can.

HOW TO PLAY:

1. Divide class into groups or teams. Assign a student from each team that will give an answer every time it is that group’s turn.

2. Each team will take a turn pulling a strip from the can and reading it to the class.

3. If the team pulls a Snap!, they lose half the points they have accumulated and the strip stays out of the can.

4. If a cause and effect example is pulled, the team will have 20 seconds to discuss and give an answer at the end of the time limit.

5. If the team can correctly identify the cause and the effect in the example, the team is awarded 5 points and they keep the strip.

6. If you choose, you can see if any team can identify the signal word(s) (if there is one) in the cause and effect for extra points. (Example signal words: because, therefore, as a result, etc.)

7. If the team does not correctly identify the cause and effect, place the strip back in the can.

8. Play until all strips have been pulled from the can or until all teams have had the same number of turns.

9. The team with the most points at the end wins!

**To add interest, you may want to change some of the names in the examples to some of your students’ names before printing the strips. They are surprised and think it is fun when they hear their names!
