Primary Required Files

List Cards – Sets A – C

Each of these cards have a unique set of restuarant menu items on them.
A deck of at least 18 cards is recommended for each group of 3 to 8 participants.
An instructor may choose one of the 3 available sets below or create a custom card deck by choosing a custom mix of cards for the 3 available sets at their own discretion (for example, to intentionally maximize the use of certain Core Vocabulary Words).
For the best long-lasting durability, print, cut, and then laminate each individual card. This should allow for years of regular use, even by younger learners.

Additional Files

The following files are not required, but serve useful optional purposes.

Card-Back Patterns

Printing a unique pattern on the back of cards that belong to the same set or activity makes sorting easier and also provides a clean professional look.
Using an identical pattern for all of the cards for this activity will make it easy to recognize that they are all part of a collective set of resources. Since Set A Cards and Set Z Cards are different sizes, the sets will be easy to differentiate from each other, even if they share the same Card-Back Pattern.
The difference between the standard versions and the secret card versions is purely cosmetic. For schools or teachers with large collections of Playguistics cards, it simply allows the option to differentiate specifics sets as being for different purposes for easier sorting after use.
Print a pattern on the back of a set of cards BEFORE cutting out the individual cards.
