In history we played a really fun game called Presidents on the Couch. Mr. Wilkins said that it really won't teach us anything, but it is fun to play. We were each given a number and, from the textbook, we had to write down the name of the president that was in the book with that number (in order of when they served). Then Mr. Wilkins told four students to come to the front of the room with their chairs, and to sit down. The everyone else moved their chairs to make a U shape around the room. He then collected our papers and passed them out randomly. He explained the rules and we had so much fun playing!=D
