Name Tag Game

1. Write pairs of cards featuring the name of a historical figure or event on one card and an appropriate response on the other, i.e., guerilla warfare/style of warfare used in Vietnam.

2. Tape a card to each student’s back, not letting them see what is on the card.

3. Have students try to match up with their partner by asking students questions about what is on their back.

4. When students find their match, they can go to the teacher and get a reward.

Good variations of the game include allowing students to say only one word about the card they are describing on their back or limiting them to only hand-actions.
