calls out a new opinion, and tries to find a spot. A new student becomes the caller, and so on. If you choose to play this way, be sure to stress that the person in the center has not lost the game—everyone still wins.
To give older students practice distinguishing between facts and opinions (rather than just agreeing or disagreeing with opinion statements), randomly call out opinion statements and fact statements. When an opinion is called, all students trade spots—whether they agree or disagree does not matter in this variation of the game. When a fact is called, all students remain standing in their spots. This is a great way to give students some low-stakes practice with facts and opinions. If they aren’t sure of the answer, they can look around the circle and see what other students are doing. When a student mistakenly starts to leave his or her spot on a fact, offer a gentle, “Oops! Wait just a minute—are you sure that’s an opinion? Remember—a fact is true for everyone. Can we all see that Erika is taller than Vijay?” When students are confused about a particular statement, make sure you discuss the confusion with them before moving on to the next statement.
