The Rules… No person can show his/her card to anyone. You must get into a group (no fewer than 4 people.) 8 in an regular class. You must attempt to have NO DOTS in your group. If you are a DOT, you must try to get into the largest group possible. A group of 4 or more with no dots give each person 3 extra credit points. Any group of 4 or more with DOTS will result in the DOTS getting 3 ex cr points. Let the GAME begin!!!!

“The Dots” How did you determine who was a “dot” and who was a “non-dot”? Were you ever accused of being a “dot” and if so, how did you feel? How did you convince others that you were NOT a “dot”? What emotions are involved in playing this game?
