How to Play

  • Allow students 1 minute to observe/study their surroundings as if they were detectives.
  • On your signal, have students close their eyes and imagine the room.
  • Ask a variety of questions:
    • How many doors are there?
    • Point to the door that takes you to the hallway.
    • Point to the door that takes you to the playground.
    • What colors are the walls, ceiling, floor?
    • What color is the rug?
    • Point to the fire extinguisher.
  • Students can point to, say or raise their hand to give the answer.

Variations

  • Allow students to take over the role of facilitation.
  • Play in complete silence, so all students can experience success by allowing them to process at their own speed.
  • For older students, ask more difficult more detailed oriented questions.
