LEARNING OBJECTIVES
-
Split the students in groups of 5-6 and have them sit in a circle.
-
Shuffle the cards and deal 4 cards to each student.
-
If the cards need to be made, label them with numerous causes and effects of climate change, mitigation strategies and urban resilience
-
-
Place the remainder of cards in a pile face down in the middle of the circle andflip over the top card so everyone can read what it says.
- The student who goes first will have the option of picking up the face-up card or choosing a new card from the stack. The object of each turn is to match a “cause” card with an “effect” card.
-
Cards that have matching causes and effects will be pairs.
-
Players must discard one card into the face-up stack after each turn. Players should always have 4 cards in their hands.
-
When a player thinks she’s made a match, he/she must show the matching cards to his/her opponent. If the match makes sense, the match will be approved. If not, then she’ll have to try for a new match during her next turn.
-
The student with the most correct matches wins.
