2 Explain the rules of the game:
* Grey cards are the beginnings of statements and white cards are the endings of statements One student begins by turning over two cards If they have a grey card and a white card, they should see if the cards form a statement/response If they do, the student should come up with a possible question that could prompt the response If the question: is acceptable to the group, the student keeps the two cards
* If the two cards do not fit together or the question is unacceptable, the student turns the cards over again The turn then passes to the next player, and so on Students must remember where they have put each card so that they can pick matching cards when their turn comes again ° The winner is the person with the most cards
Groups can test each other One person takes all the grey cards and says each one in turn Other members of the group should try to complete the expression from memory
