Practice Structures: Quiz Quiz Trade

Another of my favorite practice structures is Quiz Quiz Trade.  I believe that  Quiz Quiz Trade originates as a Kagan strategy, but I’m not sure.  This practice structure works best for knowledge level questions as well as fact fluency type questions.  This is basically a fun way to use flashcards.



To create my own, I start by finding appropriate questions and type them in a google doc in such a way that the questions and answers will end up back to back when printed as 2 sides copies.


Here’s how it works:  Have pairs of learners evenly split the deck of flashcards.  Partner A holds up the cards so that partner B can read them.  The solutions are on the back of the cards, so the activity is self-checking.  The partners take turns working their way through the flashcards and then they swap cards and practice answering the other half of the questions.  Encourage learners to discuss questions that are missed.


Here are a few Quiz Quiz Trade decks to get you started.


As always, I welcome your questions, comments, and compliments :)
