STRING AND WOODWIND GUESS WHO ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Print this document one time only to have all the pieces you need for a full game set. We suggest printing on card stock if available. If not, regular printer paper will do.
1) Pages 3-5 include informational cards that can help you think of or answer questions. Print and cut them and either leave them as a stack or use string or something similar to attach them together into a little booklet. 2) Page 6, labeled as "Mystery Cards" in the lower left had corner should be cut along the lines. At the beginning of each game, you will choose one card from the pile of mystery cards - that is your secret instrument that your opponent is trying to guess. 3) Pages 7 and 8, labeled as "Game Board Cards" are identical. Cut on the dotted lines. Each of the two game boards will be filled with one set of these cards. If they don't fit quite properly or if you printed on regular computer paper, you may want to also tape them in place for security.
HOW TO PLAY Select a mystery card - that is your instrument that your opponent is trying to guess. Don't show this card to your opponent, it's a secret! Look at the instruments on your board. What makes them different from each other? These thoughts, and the question idea sheet, will help you choose what questions to ask your opponent. Ask your opponent yes or no questions. You may be eliminate one or more instruments based on their answer. For example, if you ask "Is your instrument in the string family?" and they say no, you can flip down all the string family instruments. When you're ready to guess their mystery instrument, you can make your guess on your turn. The game is over when someone correctly guesses their opponent's instrument.
HELPFUL TIPS Use the Question Ideas sheet to help you come up with questions. Make sure your questions can be clearly answered with yes or no. If you're unsure of an answer, check out the Instrument Facts booklet - it contains helpful facts about each instrument. The instrument families and the materials the instrument is primarily made of are on each card. The instrument families are also color coded. Red is for woodwinds and purple is for strings.
