Putting It Together
1. First you will need to find some cans. How many depends on how you are going
to use this resource. If you would like a few groups at a time to be able to use
this as a game, you will need 1-3 cans. If you want to have it available as an
independent activity, you may want to make 4-5.
**I recommend regular sized tennis ball cans or “Pringles” potato chip cans.
Don’t have any? Try sending out an email to the other teachers at your school.
You may be surprised at the response you get!
2. Based on the size can you have chosen, pick the cover size that fits best (two
sizes are included). Wrap the cover around the can, gluing it down as you go. You
may want to laminate the cover first for a long lasting resource, and secure it to
the can with clear packing tape (this seems to work best).
3. Print the cards. There are two sets of cards to choose from. The first set is
multiple choice, and the second set is short answer. You can choose to use only
one type of question, or mix the two types for more variety. You also have the
option of using QR codes for students to check their answers. (Note: be sure to
use only one of each card number if you choose to mix the types of questions.)
**For a long lasting resource, you will want to laminate the cards, or print them on
cardstock!
4. Put the cut-out cards into the can, and put the lid on! That’s it! You now have a
great new resource for your classroom!
See “Using this Resource” for ideas of how you can use this with your students!

Using This Resource
As a group center/activity
In groups of 2 or more, students can play this game against one another by
seeing who can collect the most cards. To collect a card, students must answer
the question correctly. If they check their answer and it is incorrect, another
player can attempt to answer the question correctly and keep the card for
themselves. If a student pulls an “I Can” card, they can add this to their pile of
cards as a bonus and pull another card to solve.
As an independent center/activity
Students will pull a card from the can and answer it. They should record their
answers on the “My Answers” sheet. When they are finished, they can check
their answers using the answer key or QR code. It is a good idea to offer a
reward/incentive for completing the set of cards, and/or mastering a certain
percentage.
As a progress monitoring tool
When students complete this activity independently, have them keep track of
their progress using the “Checklist” provided (or you can use the checklist and
check their work yourself). You can then use this checklist to see if the student
has mastered the focus skill. You can also use this information to help you
determine if, and in what area, further instruction is needed.
Other Uses
o Project question cards on a screen and
play with the whole class.
o Review for a Unit Test
o Review for State Tests
How to Play
By Yourself
Solve each card and use the “I Can”
checklist to keep track of your progress.
See how many cards you can get correct!
With a Partner
Pull one card from the can and answer it.
If you get the question correct, keep the card. If you
get the question wrong, the other player can steal the
card by trying to answer it correctly. If you pull an “I
Can” card, add it to your pile as a bonus card and pull
another card. The player with the most cards, WINS!
