Greek Mythology Middle School High School Would You Rather? Cards

Description

Use as a CHALLENGING and FUN review or brain break for Greek Mythology online or offline. ‘Would You Rather…?’ questions prompt students to evaluate options and make choices, so they are useful for encouraging critical thinking skills. To make this thinking visible, students can share their justifications or reasons for their choices. Some cards result in lots of laughs and some in furrowed brows, but they all generate lots of discussion!

Explore Greek mythology creatures and Greek gods with these thought-provoking prompts.

This resource contains 36 unique ‘Would You Rather…?’ cards based on Greek Mythology. They reveal the values and events of many myths, and are a great introduction or review of the stories.

Print the cards onto thick paper before dividing them into 4s. I recommend you use the ‘fit to page’ option, but if you have any difficulties, please get in touch with me – abena@diversityinmind.com

Try this!

Place the cards face down in a pile in front of a team of students. They take turns to lift a card and discuss the options, before explaining what they’d choose and why.

Try this!

Put students in pairs. They turn over a card and write down their choices with reasons. They also try to predict what their partners would do and get extra bonus points if they can work out the reasons too.

Try this!

The teacher reads a card aloud and students move to one side of the room or the other, depending on their response. They then discuss why they have chosen that option with those around them.

Try this!

Once students understand the concept, ask them to create their own cards using the template provided at the end of the pack.

Try this!

Use the prompts as daily writing prompts for bellringers. Display as students enter the room so they don’t waste time and get straight to writing. Get the settled and into the topic before they have time for distractions. Invite them to share their writing when the time limit is up.

Need a way to connect with students via distance learning? Use these as lesson openers or bellringers to get students talking or sharing their responses in your video call chat box.
