- players rotate the person who ask the question on the black card
- asker chooses the winning answer
- winner keeps the black card
- pick up of new white cards for the players who spent a card on that round
- asker rotates
- winner is the player with the most black cards (correct answers) at the end of the game :)
A classroom favourite of my pupils :) highly competitive!
I have different games for different units. Please check out my store for other types of games and other revision units! NB: In the images, I have colour-coded my card games, which is why the cards appear yellow in the photos.

This lesson is titled ‘Who Was Muhammad?’ and is Lesson 1-2 from a KS3 enquiry-unit called ‘Who Was Muhammad?’
