Instructions :

Divide the class into 2 teams. Place your copy of Appendix D where every student can see. During each turn a student uses their pen to black out 1,2, or 3 petals. After the first student has taken their turn, it is the turn of a student from the opposing team. Alternate in this way until a student can only black out the final petal of the flower. The team that blacks out the last petal loses.

PERMISSION IS GIVEN TO EDIT AND PRINT THE APPENDICES FOR USE IN THE CLASSROOM.
