Oral Language Development: The Question Game
The Asia Question Game includes eight Asian themed question cards with topics including sushi, Mount Everest, The Taj Mahal, and more! This is fun to do in a small group. We distribute the picture cards and talk about the photos. Then the teacher reads the question cards and the children identify the correct picture based on the clues.
