Description:

A card game is a series of cards with validation questions on them, to make it fun for participants to show what they learned. Participants sit in a circle and pick up validation cards, which have been stacked, face-down in the center of the circle. A participant must correctly answer the card s/he receives, and can keep the card if their answer is correct. Whoever collects the most cards wins!

When to Use:

The Card Game takes approximately 30-45 minutes at the end of a multi-day depending on the number of validation questions. The method works best when there are a large number of validation questions to go through at the end of the training, but not a very large number of participants. This is because it is more fun in a card game if each participant has the opportunity to answer several questions.
