Looking for an exciting and fun-filled game that will keep your kids engaged and entertained? Look no further than Desert Island! This game is perfect for students to work on their critical thinking and deduction skills. It is perfect for playing at home or in the classroom.

In this game, students will try to guess the pattern or condition for the words written on the board by suggesting items to bring on their desert island adventure. The teacher will provide a starting word that matches the pattern, and the students will take turns suggesting items that fit the pattern.

The game is designed to help children develop their critical thinking and deduction skills while having a blast with their friends or classmates. It's perfect for groups of all sizes, and can be played with or without the teacher giving the first word. General game guidelines are on the first page and a list of potential pattern is included on the 2nd page. You could switch it up and instead of referring to a desert island you could make it be what you take to a picnic, or to the zoo or anywhere else!

Enjoy!
Brian
