Teacher Guidance It is suggested that you print off slides 29 and 30 so that you have both the question and answer sheet. Before delivery to the class you should go through every question looking at the clues then clicking to view the answers before returning to the main question board. The students should do the questions in any order. There are lots of ways to present this: 1. Print worksheet and distribute. Students work individually/pairs/groups. 2. Brainstorm with the class for maximum excitement. 3. Perhaps do 2 with Mindbender 1 then 1 with other Mind Benders. 4. Think about a group/class competition/time limit> 5. It is very unlikely that any group of students will be able to complete all of Mindbender 4. It might be a good idea to do “The 12 Days of Christmas” presentation from the Enrichment Category (not the Festive Category) before you deliver it.
