Difficulty level tailoring

This activity can be adapted to different levels depending on the students’ familiarity with objects and their ability to use them creatively.

  • Beginner learners (6-7 years old): Use simple, concrete word/picture cards. Clues are direct and familiar: “Swat something that is an animal.” Students explain their choices in one short sentence.
  • Advanced learners (8-9 years old): Use multi-layered clues (riddles, metaphors, category overlaps). Students must invent at least one alternative answer. Pair work includes short brainstorming before swatting. 
  • Expert learners(9-10 years old): Students create their own complex clues for classmates. Cards represent abstract concepts (e.g., fairness, energy, connection). Students explain the reasoning behind each creative connection.
