This is a great learning game that can also be a cooperative game. All you need are pieces of paper for the equipment.

Equipment: Pieces of paper, one for each player, with a different author's name written on each one; pins
Directions: An author's name is pinned on each player's back. No player knows what name she or he wears and just finds out by asking questions that can be answered by "yes" or "no." For instance, "Am I living? Am I American? Am I a man? Do I write detective stories?" The winner is the first player who raises their hand and correctly identifies themselves. The cards may be shifted after a round has been played.
Variation: The group is divided into two teams. Team A wears cards with names of prominent authors, living or dead. Team B wears cards with two or more titles of works by these authors. Each player tries to find one of the titles of their author within a stipulated time.

| About Kathryn Martinez: I'm a SAHM, home schooling mother of 4 children, 1 husband, and a neurotic cat. This is our sixth year of home schooling. I worked for over 10 years at USF in an education and training department. I hope that by sharing my experience with other home schoolers, both the new and the not-so-new and those just considering home schooling, I will pass along all the help that was given to me when I first started out. |
