 Class Activity
1. Split up into 4 even groups.
2. Each team must place blue squares, blue side
up on the desk.
3. 1 at a time, each person picks two pieces to
flip over.
If they match, they are put aside. If they do not
match, they are flipped back over.
4. This pattern continues until all 5 faces are put
together.
5. Which ever groups finishes first wins candy!
