Mystery Measurement

Each partner secretly measures the lengths of five objects in the classroom. Each partner records the names of the objects measured on one set of cards and the lengths on a second set.

Mix both sets of cards together. Then trade cards with your partner. Each partner tries to match each of his or her partner's objects with its length without actually measuring the objects.

Continue by measuring more objects or by exchanging cards with other students.
