Follow Me Cards

To help make the session learner centred rather than using a traditional question and answer type approach why not use follow me cards.  Again, these are for formative assessment of knowledge.

Have sufficient cards for each learner in the group.
Card one contains a question and the answer for the last question in the series of cards.
Card two contains the answer to question one and another question.
Card three contains the answer to question two and another question etc until the last card which contains the answer to the previous question and the question that is answered on card one.

Shuffle the cards - give one or two to each learner.  Ask a learner to ask his or her question.  The other learners look at the answers on their cards and the one with the correct answer reads it out (it is important that there is clearly only one correct answer for each question).  The learner then reads their question out and so on until the learner who asked the first question answers the last one.

Needs to be planned carefully and should be assessing something that learners have already rehearsed - this is a knowledge checking activity and is not appropriate for something completely new to learners.
