This engaging whole-class game has been designed to reinforce understanding of circuit components and their configurations.

In the game, one student secretly receives the answer card that depicts a specific series or parallel circuit arrangement. Meanwhile, the other students receive cards featuring various circuit components. The teacher provides a description of the circuit, prompting the students to collaboratively arrange themselves in the correct configuration. Once achieved, the secret student with the answer card signals success by making a sound.

This fun game encourages teamwork, critical thinking, and hands-on learning about electrical circuits without the need for extra equipment. To prepare, simply print the instructions page and the game cards in your choice of colour or black and white. Cut the cards out and start the game!
