Guiding Numbers Game
Thanks very much to Wendy Baker, who posted this game to the Guiding Mailing List.
The leader has the following list of questions; the girls have a set of cards with the digits 1-9 on them. After each question is asked, the girls have to decide on the right answer and hold up the correct number card(s).
This version of the game is written for Pathfinders, but it could easily be adapted for other ages. Answers to each question follow in brackets.
