End of Year How Well Do You Know Your Teacher
Forty yes-or-no picture question cards ask what a class thinks it knows about their teacher — from "Do I have a pet?" to "Can I speak another language?" — with one question printed per page for display or use as a set of centers. A companion sheet numbers boxes 1 through 40 so each student can record a yes/no guess for every card before the teacher reveals the real answer. The one-question-per-page format needs no prep beyond printing, and every card follows the same short, predictable structure. It works as a whole-class guessing game, a morning-meeting routine spread across several days, or a one-sitting end-of-year icebreaker.
