This is a great co-operative learning game for consolidating new learning in a fun and active way. Also great for revision. My classes enjoy the excuse to move around, work with different partners (and their friends) and have fun while learning. It does take some practice for them to get the hang of each step so I recommend playing more than once. (Great as a warm up game).
