Kagan Structures #20 Quiz-Quiz-Trade: Card Templates and Examples

To be used with Kagan style lessons or as an active learning activity for pupil pair work.

Kagan Structure number 20: Quiz-Quiz-Trade
Students quiz a partner, get quizzed by a partner, and then trade cards to repeat the process with a new partner.

The teacher provides quizzing cards or the students can create their own quiz cards using the card template.

Step 1: Students Pair Up
With a card in one hand and the other hand raised, each student stands up, puts a hand up, and pairs up with a classmate. They give each other a high five as they pair up.
Step 2: Partner A Quizzes
In the pair, Partner A asks Partner B a question relating to his or her card.
Step 3: Partner B Answers
Step 4: Partner A Praises or Coaches
If Partner B asnwers correctly, Partner A praises him or her. If Partner B answers incorrectly, Partner A coaches or tutors Partner B.
Step 5: Switch Roles
Partners switch roles. Partner B now asks the question on his or her card and offers praise or coaches.
Step 6: Partners Trade Cards
Before departing and looking for new partners, partners trade cards. This way, students have a new card for each new pairing.
Step 7: Partners Continue Quizzing and Trading
Partners split up and continue quizzing and getting quizzed by new partners. When done, they trade cards again and find a new partner. Remind students, “Hand up to find a partner, high five, and hands down when you have a partner.”

The cards in Mix-N-Match each match another card. e.g. when playing Mix-N-Match on states and capitals, there is a matching card for each state (California and Sacramento). Mix-N-Match starts with a round of Quiz-Quiz-Trade. After quizzing for the desired period, the teacher tells students to find the classmate with the matching card.
