True or False Relay Race
Equipment list
Pre-made True/False statement cards (curriculum-aligned)
Two containers or bins labeled “True” and “False”
Stopwatch or timer
Explanation
Students are split into small teams (4–5 students each). Teams line up on one side of the classroom or gym. One student at a time runs, or moves in a manner of their choice, to a central station, reads a statement card, decides if it’s true or false, and places it in the corresponding container. They then run back and tag the next teammate.
Each team has 3 “Ask a Teammate” opportunities to pause and discuss challenging questions quietly. The game ends when all cards are sorted or time runs out.
After the relay, the class reviews a few key statements and corrects any misconceptions together.
Variations
Use multiple subjects in one round for interdisciplinary review
Include “Explain your answer” cards to deepen critical thinking
Add point values to statements (e.g., 2 points for harder questions)
Play indoors or outdoors depending on space and weather
Progression
Start with basic recall (e.g., true/false vocabulary or facts)
Advance to higher-order thinking (cause/effect, analysis)
Introduce timed rounds to increase challenge
