Or, simply make a note of the following words and write them down on scrap paper or sticky notes;
- Put the words face down into a pile. Pick a card from the top of the pile and hold it above your head or in front of you – no peeking!
- Ask questions to the rest of the players to help you figure out what material is on your card.
- Some good questions to ask are: Is it recyclable? Does it hold food or drinks? Can it be plugged in or turned on? Can it be placed in your recycling container or does it have to be taken to the Household Waste Recycling Centre? Is it made from metal? Is it waterproof? Is it made from a flexible material? Is it transparent?
- Use one point per correct answer to find a winner!
