(Kagan, 1994)
Set-up:
The teacher or class creates a set of cards based on the vocabulary/content to master. Each card
has a matching card. For example, to learn vocabulary one card would be the word and the other card would be the matching definition. Each student receives one card.
Steps:
Students stand up (with cards in hand), put a hand up, and find a partner. Students quiz a partner,
get quizzed by a partner and then trade cards to repeat the process with a different partner. For
further instructions see student resource, Quiz-Quiz-Trade, (Observation Form). (Kagan, 1994)
Management Tips:
If students make cards check them for accuracy.
If there are an odd number of students, the teacher can play to get the class started.
If needed, assign who goes first each time.
Remind students to keep a hand up when looking for a partner. This makes it easier to see
students who still need a partner.
A location in the room can be designated for students to wait until they find a partner.
Differentiated Instruction:
Monitor to assess and help.
Put answers on the back of cards if needed.
Colour code cards by levels of difficulty – students find someone with the same colour card to quiz.
Use pictures instead of words.
