WHEN TO PLAY THIS GAME:

This game is designed to introduce students to cultural information about Colombia. Play this game before watching the film Encanto. Then, see if they can identify the cultural aspects that they learned about as they watch the movie!

Although the questions are asking students about cultural facts, this game is intended to be an opportunity to learn the information. Remember–it's unfair! You will be asking students questions about information that they likely don't know. Teams will make their best guess, and they will learn information as the correct answers are revealed. Use the post-play worksheets to help students organize their learning!

HOW TO PLAY THE UNFAIR GAME:

Your class will play in two or more teams, and the interactive presentation will walk you through a series of decisions for teams to make on their turn to decide an answer choice and whether they want to keep or give away the points - before they even know if they are positive or negative! It's SO unfair!!

PLAY IN SPANISH:

As you display each question to your students, help them understand what it's asking! Contextualized answer choices for each question serve as an additional layer of comprehension support. The 25 questions will be within reach of understanding for Level 1+ Spanish classes that are accustomed to interpreting the target language.

If you do not teach Spanish or if you are using this resource in an exploratory class with limited interpretive ability, use the English version of the game and worksheets that is provided.

DISCLAIMER: None of the questions in this product is about the movie: all content is focused on cultural information about Colombia. This product does not reference or make use of characters, plot, images, or other trademarks, copyrights, or intellectual property related to the movie Encanto.
