Partners proceed through three rounds as they quiz each other with flashcards, mastering the content to win cards.
Setup: Students each have their own set of flashcards.
- In pairs, the Tutee gives his/her flashcards to the Tutor.
- Round 1. Maximum Cues. The Tutor shows the question on the first card, reads the question, and shows and reads the answer written on the back of the card. The Tutor then turns the card back over and again reads the question on the front of the card asking the Tutee to answer from memory.
- The Tutee answers. If correct, Tutee wins the card back and receives a surprising, delightful praise from the Tutor. If wrong, the Tutor shows the Tutee the answer side of the card and coaches. The card is then returned to the stack to try again later.
- When the Tutee wins all cards, partners switch roles. When the new Tutee wins all her/his cards, partners advance to Round 2.
- Round 2: Few Cues. The process is repeated, except the Tutor shows only the question on the front of each card, and asks the Tutee to answer from memory.
- Round 3. No Cues. The process is repeated, except the Tutor quizzes Tutee on each question without showing the Tutee the flashcards.
