Abstraction Game
Let's play a game to practice Including and Ignoring!
How to Play
- One student will be selected each time to come up to the front.
- The student will be shown a single word, and will need to draw it out on the board.
- The student may only draw Circles, Squares, Rectangles, and Triangles.
- Everyone else will need to guess what the student is making.
Rules
- Time limit of 2 mins.
- The student at the front cannot talk.
- Cannot form letters or numbers.
- Think carefully what to include in your model and what to ignore!
Discussion
After each round, quickly discuss what enabled the guesser to figure out what the item is.
