Classroom setup

Plan about 5–15 min for this activity. It works best with whole class, with the game displayed where every learner can see the prompts. Before the first turn, review the controls and tell students how they should respond while another player is at the board. Listen for evidence of reasoning and speaking as students explain their choices.

Teacher tips

  • Both choices are valid; the marked answer only advances play.
  • Let students pass.
  • Compare reasons, not votes.
