The purpose is to support learner-centered thinking and encourage creativity and critical thinking through the use of open-ended questions A closed-ended question is a form of question, which normally can be answered with a simple "yes/no" dichotomous question, a specific simple piece of information, or a selection from multiple choices (multiple-choice question), if one excludes such non-answer responses as dodging a . The package is well put together. It includes: * One set of 60 playing cards playing cards, parts of a set or deck, used in playing various games of chance or skill. The origin of playing cards is unknown, and almost as many theories exist as there are historians of the subject. , with 10 cards for each of the six play types: Make a List, Compare the Two, Draw It Out, Don't Talk (charades), Act It Out, and Surprise Attack. Each card has a number on the back, and players have to look up the corresponding numbered item in the content section. * A timer. * A CD with the game handouts and job aids. * A 94-page User Guide divided into two sections. Written in clear, user-friendly language, the first section contains three chapters detailing how to conduct the card games, examples of how to play them, and a sample scenario of how to facilitate each of the games. The second section has the numbered items for the content areas. To play, the group selects one of the five topics. A player chooses a card from one of the six types--let's say "Make a List"--and the number on the back is 11. The player either looks up the number in the book included in the package or on sheets printed from the CD. Item 11 for Leadership reads: "Recent changes in the nature of leadership." Everyone in the group now writes a list of "recent changes in the nature of leadership." They compare their lists with the one written by the person who drew the card, and everyone votes on the best list. The individual who wrote it wins the card. The first person to have six cards wins. Each game takes approximately 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of players. Recommendation I'm neither a card player nor a game player.
