This document provides instructions for teachers to create a question game to play with students. The teacher selects questions previously covered in class and creates two handouts with different answer sets. Students are divided into two groups and each given a handout. Groups write questions to match the answers. Then they exchange handouts and must write questions for the new set of answers. Finally, the instructions describe how to adapt the game into a bingo-style activity where students match questions drawn randomly to answers on their card.
