Can you guess my rule?

A simple game can bring such joy and reveal our thinking! During transitions to the rug we have been playing different games with the children. This week we invited them to play the game on their own at a table. It was a hit!

Pulling objects from a basket, a child decides one way the items belong together, but keeps this “rule” a secret.  The other players must then guess the rule that dictated the selection, naming an attribute the objects share.  There is often more than one possibility!

Can you guess Ray's rule?
