WHO AM I?

A nature-based guessing game


Instructions:
• Print out the attached pages (double-sided if you can) and cut each page in half to create two cards. Punch a hole in
the top two corners and tie a piece of string between the holes, making sure that it is long enough to allow the card to
be placed over a student’s head and hung around their neck.
• There are different options for how to run this game. The key is to either have the student who has the card on their
back ASK “yes/no” questions to the class, or be GIVEN clues by their classmates.

As a full class: Teacher stands at the front of the group and invites one volunteer forward as a demonstration. The EE
places a Who Am I card on their back, and instructs them to spin around so that the class can see their card. The volunteer
can then face the class, and pick students to give them clues about their card, or ask the class yes/no questions to help
them guess. Encourage the student to guess between each clue.

Examples: Am I an animal? Do I fly? Do I live in the forest? Can I swim?

Remind the class NOT to say the name on the card before the student guesses correctly.

In groups of two: Teacher hangs a card on the back of each student, making sure that they do not see the side of the card
facing out. In groups of two, the students ask each other questions or give clues to try to figure out who they are. Once
both pairs have guessed correctly, they can come up to the teacher and get two more cards.

Tips
• If students are having trouble guessing their card, you can offer more clues that the students have not already offered.
• If students guess their card easily, quiz the class about the item. “Where would we usually see this animal? Do you
know what it would normally eat? Has anyone ever seen this animal before? Why is this an important part of our local
ecosystem?”
