Match Game

This game allows the students to interact with each other while learning at the same time.

Prepare a "deck" composed of pairs of cards each featuring the names of an important figure or event. To play, distribute one card to each student in the class, and allow them to go around the room and exchange clues as to the cards they hold. Each student tries to find their "match" going only by the clues and without looking at any other students card. The first pair to correctly match up is the winner of that round.
