Teacher notes

  • Call a word, for example 'hot'. Children cover its opposite, 'cold'.
  • Six boards are different from each other, so with two to six players there is always more than one close finish.
  • Cover squares with counters, torn paper, beans or bottle tops, not pens, so the sheets can be reused.
  • For large classes, print one set per group of six and let the winner become the caller.
  • Variation: children say the word aloud as they cover it.
