educational card game
Objections!
Try the beta version of an educational card game designed to teach students different ways to object to bad arguments.
For 3-5 Players, Middle School and above. Each round takes about five minutes, and there are enough arguments supplied for six rounds.
The game comes with a short lesson plan that can be expanded. You can even construct your own bad arguments for students to analyze—just make sure at least four kinds of objections work against your bad argument!
