 How to Play Scoot Using Task Cards
Scoot is a fun and fast paced game that can be played with the whole class. Here is how it is played:
1. Put a task card on each desk or at each student’s seat at a table. All the cards are numbered. I like
to put the cards on the desk in the order that you want the students to move around (students will
move from seat to seat and rotate through all the cards).
2. All students start at their own seat. They need to take note of the card at the seat where they are
sitting. The child sitting at the seat with #3 card will answer that and record it in the space for number 3,
then move to the seat with card #4 when the teacher says “Scoot.” For example, if they are at seat #7,
when you say “Scoot” they move to seat #8 and start to work on that card.
3. Students use the recording sheet to record their answers from each task card. They don’t write on
the task cart itself.
4. One key is to go over the way to move through the classroom. It REALLY helps to have a few
trial runs of how to move to the next card and where the next card is located. This is a must! If
you don’t it can be chaotic. If they have practiced, it goes much more smoothly!! Make sure you
train your students that the number on the recording sheet goes with the number on the card.
5. Play the game until the students make it back to their original seat.
6. You can either go over them as class by projecting them or writing the question on the board or
you can collect the papers and grade them yourself as a quick assessment piece.
7. Answer keys are included with all the task cards!
