'Who Am I?' Game Cards - Sierra Club BC

[Pages:29]Instructions:

WHO AM I? A nature-based guessing game

? Print out the attached pages (double-sided if you can) and cut each page in half to create two cards. Punch a hole in the top two corners and tie a piece of string between the holes, making sure that it is long enough to allow the card to be placed over a student's head and hung around their neck.

? There are different options for how to run this game. The key is to either have the student who has the card on their back ASK "yes/no" questions to the class, or be GIVEN clues by their classmates.

As a full class: Teacher stands at the front of the group and invites one volunteer forward as a demonstration. The EE places a Who Am I card on their back, and instructs them to spin around so that the class can see their card. The volunteer can then face the class, and pick students to give them clues about their card, or ask the class yes/no questions to help them guess. Encourage the student to guess between each clue.

Examples: Am I an animal? Do I fly? Do I live in the forest? Can I swim?

Remind the class NOT to say the name on the card before the student guesses correctly.

In groups of two: Teacher hangs a card on the back of each student, making sure that they do not see the side of the card facing out. In groups of two, the students ask each other questions or give clues to try to figure out who they are. Once both pairs have guessed correctly, they can come up to the teacher and get two more cards.

Tips ? If students are having trouble guessing their card, you can offer more clues that the students have not already offered. ? If students guess their card easily, quiz the class about the item. "Where would we usually see this animal? Do you

know what it would normally eat? Has anyone ever seen this animal before? Why is this an important part of our local ecosystem?"
