I was lucky enough to spend the last weekend in Washington DC, hopping between museums and galleries. One of the things which inspired me was a card game designed to get people to discuss their ideals, which was playable at the American Museum of History.
There was a table set up with four matching decks of cards (each card has an image on it). In the middle there was a spinner which would select one word when stopped. You were invited to pick out four cards which related to that word, and then share your selections with the other players. Here are some photos I took at the museum (excuse the quality):
I decided that this would be a fantastic game to play with my students and would stimulate some rich discussion. I remade the game, with the same instructions, but different images (images from PhotosForClass, which have the citation on the bottom). I've also made sure the images are all fairly ambiguous. Link to my presentation here.
InstructionsDo you have shared ideals?
Of course because I am a big IB MYP nerd, I had to make some MYP specific cards! I decided to make another deck, with different pictures, and the ideals replaced with MYP Key Concepts! I would use this for an introduction to the MYP session for students and parents OR for MYP Training for teachers. I changed the rules slightly so that:

You could do some great ones about character or genre! You could even do one linked to classification - with lots of photos which are multidisciplinary! 9/4/2018 05:31:53 pm
The roulette game gives much pleasure to roulette fans than it used to in the past. There is a suitable platform where the players of the game will get to enjoy it through the Internet. 10/4/2018 06:21:24 pm

Did the activity with the new MYP 4 batch. Quite useful and engaging. Some interesting conversations about perspectives came up. I extended the exercise in which each group was asked to select one GC and one picture associated with it. Based on their reasons of choosing that particular picture with the respective GC, now they come up with a structure of a play in which the picture is one of the scenes of the play. The narrative must match the chosen GC.
