    The trivia game has some very specific questions that, even with the information provided, can’t be answered (even by myself!). It would be a good idea to sift through the cards (there’s a lot of them) and pull out the ones you feel would be best to present to the class. When I taught the lesson, I divided the class into two groups so there was two teams (since there are two frogs with velcro tongues to put felt bugs on, each bug is worth a different number of points). Although the information provided is nice, I would recommend using the trivia game as an end-of-unit fun lesson. Students were each assigned a different paragraph with information about frogs, but as stated above this didn’t help so much since the questions were so specific. This game could be altered to be a test review by not using the cards provided and making your own (perhaps questions students might see on a test) or you could make your own velcro tongued animals and prey to do a trivia game for any animal!
