Pass It On Activity Print this page Save this page
Divide students into teams of four–six students. Each team should have one piece of paper with the chosen topic written across the top of the page. When you call “go,” the first team member writes a fact related to the topic. As soon as one team member has written a comment, he/she passes the paper to the next team member in a clockwise motion. If a team member cannot contribute a comment, he/she may write pass on the paper. However, each “pass” detracts one point from the overall score, which is based on the number of correct comments on the paper. Here is the real catch: team members cannot talk to one another. They may mime answers to help team members who are “stuck,” but a team forfeits by talking.
