How to set up the activity
If you intend to get the students to ask each other the brain teasers, photocopy enough question and answer cards for the number of groups you wish to have.
You can leave the cards in sheets (6 to a page) or cut them into individual cards and double back the answers- whatever you prefer! Photocopy them onto card stock or laminate them and they will continue to delight many future classes.
