“Who Am I?” Game

Suggested Grades

Students will identify important things in various subjects by analyzing their characteristics.

Before doing this lesson, label the index cards according to whatever subject you are using them for:
Socials– historical figures, time-periods, places, geography terms and features, places,…
Science– scientists, inventors, chemicals, rocks, planets, plants, animals, …
Language Arts– authors, parts of speech, punctuation marks,…
Fine Arts– artists, musicians, instruments, works of art,…
The point of the game is for students to figure out who/what they are, based on answers to questions they pose to their classmates.
Tape a different card on each student’s back.
Students wander around asking classmates yes/no questions about who/what they are.
Whoever guesses who/what they are first, wins.
