Consequences Card Game

Consequences Card Game

Set-Up:

1.  Using the samples below or sentences of your own, make two set’s of index cards for each group of 2-3 students.

2.  Be sure to put the behaviors on one color and the consequences on another color. Make a “Header Card” for each color with the word “Behavior” or “Consequence” on the card.

3.  You can choose how many behavior/consequences cards to give each group. However, time is a factor so 5 pairs per group is usually sufficient.

4.  Be sure not to duplicate behavior/consequence cards. Each group should have their own, unique set.

5.  Place cards in an envelope or bag to pass-out to each group.

How to Play:

1.  Each group will get a bag with behavior/consequence cards.

2.  Students place the “Behavior” and “Consequence” header cards on the ground (or table) in front of them. Behavior on the left, Consequences on the right.

3.  The group lays out all of the behavior cards in a column under the “Behavior” header card.

4.  One at a time, students take turns reading the consequences cards and placing them next to the logical behavior match.

5.  Play continues until all cards are matched.

6.  Students then take turns using the sentence frames to make complete sentences

7.  Once they feel comfortable with the structures, encourage students to write their own innovations using the sentence frames. Keep these innovations to add to the game on a review day. The students will love the surprise!
