How to Play
- Instruct students to line up in a particular order without speaking (for example, students may line up by birthday, the first letter of their first name, etc.).
- After the first round, have a discussion with the students about what was challenging, different ways they communicated with each other, and other creative ways they might do the next lineup.
- Give them a second category for lining up and start again!
