Guess My Rule at Home

Play several games with a family member or a friend.

• 1 Collect 20 small objects, for example, a pencil, a paper clip, a stone, a button, or a penny.

• 2 Choose a rule that fits some of the objects.

• 3 Put two objects that fit your rule in the circle. Put two objects that do not fit your rule outside the circle.

• 4 Your partner does not guess your rule yet. Your partner puts another object where he or she thinks it belongs.

• 5 Tell your partner whether he or she is correct. Put any misplaced objects where they belong.

• 6 Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until almost all the objects are placed in the circle or outside the circle.

• 7 Then your partner guesses your rule.

• 8 Now your partner chooses a rule and you play again.
