Description

If you are looking for a fun activity to introduce inferencing to your class, then this is the one for you. All you need are these cards and some headbands! Students wear a picture card on their head and must try and guess what it is, using the clues given to them by their classmates as well as their prior knowledge.

The game can be played as a whole class or in small group rotations. It is a terrific introduction to the Making Inferences unit.
