Three-Hint Quiz

Materials

• About ten picture cards showing animals or objects

How to play

1. Lay familiar picture cards face up. Choose a clue-giver, who secretly selects one picture.
2. The clue-giver thinks of three features without naming the answer. For example: “It is food,” “You peel it,” and “It is yellow.”
3. Give the three clues in order. Listeners wait until the final clue, then point to their chosen pictures simultaneously on the signal.
4. Reveal the answer and discuss which clues helped. Change clue-givers and finish after everyone has had one turn.

Ways to adapt

Preschool children: begin with 3–4 pictures and two clues. Younger primary school children: use about ten pictures. Older primary school children: turn the pictures face down and guess from words alone.
