Picture-Card Exchange
Japanese name: 絵カード交換
Materials
- Five identical picture cards per person, with different pictures assigned to different people
How to play
- Start with five identical picture cards each, using different pictures for different players. Show the available pictures and demonstrate a trade.
- Walk to a partner and invite an exchange by words or gestures. With agreement, each chooses one card and hands it over simultaneously.
- Aim for five different pictures. You may trade with the same person again, but never take cards without permission.
- Show five completed types to the facilitator. You may keep helping others by continuing to trade.
- At the time limit, lay out cards and notice increased variety and successful exchanges.
Ways to adapt
Preschool children: three cards of three types. Younger primary school children: five types. Older primary school children: plan trades that remove duplicate pictures.
