These cards put a spin on choosing partners/teams for group work. In my 6th-grade classroom, I will randomly distribute the cards as students come in. They are not allowed to swap. They are to determine what other students will be in their group.

For partners as an example, if one student has the Luigi card and another student has Mario, they would be partners. If they are working in small groups, all the Scooby characters would make a group!

Also, if you decide to use all the cards and want to use partners, the Scooby characters would have to determine amongst themselves two sets of partners.

Enjoy this freebie!
