Directions to Make the Game: 1. Print pages 1-2, single sided, cut out the spinner base, the card stack bases, and the game rules. Glue these pieces

to a piece of square foam core posterboard (at least 14” by 14”). 2. Make the spinner by unfolding one end of a paperclip and looping the curved end around a thumb tack pushed into

the center of the spinner base. 3. Print pages 3-12, double-sided, on card stock, flipping on the long edge. Cut out the technology cards, place them

in stacks, face down, on their card stack bases. Now you are ready to play.

the spinner on their turn. 2. Game master draws a card,

reads it out loud, team guesses no tech, low tech, or high tech.

3. Correct response = 1 point 4. Incorrect response = other

team gets a chance to answer. 5. Bonus point for guessing time

period in history when a technology was invented.
