Poker for Training Groups

So poker is all the rage right now. Even movie stars and rofessional athletes all in onit. The Poker Tour on TV is filled with recognizable faces usually seen on the big screen or in superbowls. Poker can also be used in the classroom! Here's how:

To prepare this game you need to have 1 deck of cards for every four or five players in your group. You need to put questions about your topic on each card of the deck. Near the end of the session divide your group into smaller groups of 4-5 players each. This will help them review the topic and help them retain what they have learned.

Give each a deck of cards. They each take turns dealing five cards to each member of their group. The person to the left of the dealer turns to their left and asks a question that is on their card. If that person answers incorrectly, he or she has to take the card that had the question on it and now has 6 cards while the person that answered the question only has 4. If the person answers correctly, the person asking the question discards the card with the question on it and the person that answered correctly give them one of their own cards. Now the questioner still has 5 cards while the person who answered correctly only has four.

Then it is that person’s turn to ask the person to their left any question from a card in their hand and so on around the table until someone has no cards left and is the winner from that group. If time is remaining, the cards can be re-dealt for a new hand. If you do not have enough decks of cards, you can just be the dealer and deal to more than one group at a time.
