Description: This can be used for any grade level and for virtually any subject. (Kindergarten could use pictures instead of words.) Half of the students get a Post-it® Note with a vocabulary word, math problem, history date, etc. (whatever is appropriate for the lesson or subject and the grade level) written on it (the "Question" note.) The rest of the students each get an "Answer" note which corresponds with one of the "Question" stickies. The "Question" students post their stickies on their foreheads or chests for all to see. The "Answer" students hide their stickies. The "Question" students then have to find the person who holds their match by asking the other students pertinent questions about the sticky they have hidden until they find their match.
