Starting the New Year with a Game
Notes from Jacquie: Over the years my elementary through college classes have played this game many times.Simply divide the class in half and ask the students to turn their desks or chairs to face each other. In doing so they form two teams. Provide five to ten minutes for the teams to study and let the games begin. Being a teacher is so much fun!Detailed instructions below.

activity to be used when the instructor believes appropriate.
