2. You may write the question on one side of the card and the answer on the opposite or you may write both question and answer on one side.

3. You will produce your game questions from the content of each of the homework assignments covered during the Louisiana Board Game Unit.

4. Card requirements: · Do not include __yes/no__ questions. · Only __one date/number question per topic.__ · Only one vocabulary question per topic. · Short answers only · Color code cards according to topics.
