Below are a few ideas I recently learned for using Climer Cards. Some of them are available in the free e-book available at Climercards.com.
- Lineup in alphabetical order according to the picture on your card. In addition to the challenge of lining up, this encourages discussion and decision making around what to call the object.
- Have students select a card. Answer the question below that corresponds with the shape on the card.
|
Circle – What is one thing you really like to do that makes you feel whole or complete?
Square – What is one feature your dream house would have? Triangle – Share one goal you are working towards right now. Why is it important to you? Pentagon – What is one restriction you have in life that you wish you didn’t have? Star – Who is a “rock star” in your life? (Someone who you think is awesome.) |

3. Each person in a group has a card. Create a group story using all of the images on the
cards. 4. As a closing activity in class. Spread out the cards. Have two or three students pick a card that represents a concept that was shared during class. |
