I created this game to give my students practice with making inferences. Students will use prior knowledge along with the clues given to infer what is happening in each picture. This is a fun and engaging activity to help students better understand how we make inferences. I would use this activity after introducing making inferences to my students. This will help to lay a stronger foundation of the skill before learning to apply inference making during the reading process. This game is similar to the popular Pictionary game. This is an engaging activity to practice SOL 4.5h.
