Default Re: The SLAM Game (OR my favorite game ever!!!)

would this game be suitable for middle school and high school students. Do you replace the flash cards during the game, sa y once all students have gone through once? It sounds like fun.

I've played with middle school and high school students and they liked it. But if your students are 'too cool for school' it might not work.

I usually randomly swap out cards as they play. You want them to see the same cards a couple of times and then start swapping old cards with new cards as they play.

thanks I will try it. I do have a couple of too cool students in most of my classes, but I still think I will try it. Swapping for new cards often as the play makes sense! (doh).

cheers

Thanks!! It went well, once they understood the mechanics of the game they (most of them) enjoyed it. Some of them are so hammy when they win or lose, it was hilarious. I tried it on Grade one and two High School students today. Tomorrow I'll try it on my Grade one Middle Schoolers!

thanks again, this is a great site
