Instructions for QQT Cards

Here are the instructions for using QQT (Quiz, Quiz, Trade) cards (apologies to those who already know about these). The game is so simple but the children seem to love it.

1.  Give out the cut-up QQT cards (ideally laminated) – you need one per child and a few spares if the teacher and any other adults are playing.

2.  The children find a partner and one child from each pair reads out his/her question - (i.e. Quiz 1). The partner tries to answer it – clues can be given. If they do not know the answer the first child can tell them it. (This can be a noisy game as all children are asking or answering at once!)

3.  The second child then reads out his/her question, and the process is repeated (i.e. Quiz 2)

4.  Once both questions are asked and answered the children swap cards (i.e. Trade) and then put up their hands to find a new partner. They are moving about the room to do this.

5.  The process is allowed to continue for as long as you wish. It may be repeated on other days and the children do get better with time. You may like to explain that if they get the same question again it does not matter as this will help them learn.
