Overview:
Terror cards provide a great way of making sure that all students are included in a lesson.
They are particularly beneficial in large groups where individuals may get ‘missed’ or
‘forgotten’ during Q & A sessions and other activities. The teacher randomly picks a terror card to identify who will participate in a given activity.
Directions:
1. Have students write their first name and initial on an index card.
2. Teacher shuffles the deck of cards and stores them in a box on his/her desk.
3. Whenever a response is required from a student a Terror Card is drawn from the deck and the named student is called on to answer/participate.
4. The card is returned to the box of cards.
