Quiz, Quiz, Trade Bully Cards

Are
you conducting a classroom guidance lesson or have a need in your class to
discuss Bullying Prevention? Need an intro activity? An icebreaker? A
pretest/posttest? Look no further! These fun, colorful, Quiz, Quiz, Trade Cards
are perfect to help start the discussion about recognizing bullying and how it
can be prevented at school.

I
start this lesson by giving students the pretest. I like to look at the data to
get an idea of what they already know so I have a plan of which concepts I need
to hit the hardest.

After
all students complete the pretest, we play the Quiz, Quiz, Trade game. I create
the cards at home so that they can be super colorful and visually appealing. I print two
copies of the double-sided 8×10 cards on cardstock, creating 26 cards total.
The idea is that then I have enough for one card per student, I dislike greatly
when students are left out. I use tan or off-white cardstock paper so the cards
aren’t transparent (it’s no fun if they can see the answers through the paper).
I then laminate the cards for extra durability.

I pass out and provide
a card to every student. One side of the card has a question, the other side
has the highlighted answer. I tell them to hold the highlighted answer towards
themselves so others can’t sneak a peek at the answers.

We
then use the stand up, hands up, pair up method for all students to quickly and
easily find a partner. All students stand up, put one hand up in the air and
find a partner who also has their hand in the air. Once the two find each
other, they par up and put their hands down. Students still looking for a
partner look around the room for someone with a hand up in the air.

They then quiz/quiz/trade with each other.
Partner A holds up their flash card and shows
Partner B their question. Partner B responds with an answer to the question.
Partner A congratulates them if they are correct and coaches if incorrect. They
then switch roles and Partner B asks Partner A the question written on their
card. Partner A answers the question and Partner B congratulates them if they
answer correctly and coaches if they answer incorrectly.
When both students finish asking and answer each
of their questions, the two students high five each other and switch cards.
Partner A and B then both raise their hands and move about the room to find a
new partner (hands up/pair up). Once they link up with someone new, they repeat
the process.

After a set amount of time (however much is allotted for in the given
timeframe), we discuss the questions as a group and answer any student questions
and/or concerns.

To end this brief
lesson, we complete the same pretest that we took as a posttest to gauge their
learning (either I give out right then or the teacher does at a later time
period).
