The Game

The teacher divides the students into groups of 3 or 5, depending on the class size. Each group is given a story / scientific information / a topic to read. The groups are required to summarize the given text in 50 words on a blank page.

After all groups finish their summaries, the summary papers are randomly redistributed among the groups. This time, they are asked to summarize their assigned summaries in 30 words on the same paper.

Once all groups complete the second round of summarizing, the summary papers are shuffled again and redistributed. Now, they need to summarize the 30-word summaries in 20 words on the same paper.

Next, the 20-word summaries are compared with the original text. Groups that accurately summarize according to the original text earn points. The group with the most points wins the game.

Rules:

 Groups earn points sequentially for summaries: 20 points for 50-word summary, 15 points for 30-word summary, and 10 points for 20-word summary.

 Only the group that wrote the 50-word summary can see the original text. Other groups cannot see the original text.

 Summaries that do not match the original text do not earn points.

The points earned by the groups can be totaled to determine the winner at the end of a period (weekly, monthly, etc.).

If desired, the teacher can award additional points or deduct penalty points based on presentation, grammar, and other criteria.
