Pi Day ~ Einstein Trivia Game Year 2

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy

in creative expression and knowledge."

Albert Einstein

(German physicist ~ 1879 - 1955)

Create some joy in class !

On Einstein's birthday, March 14th, officially known as Pi Day, I use this game of facts about Einstein for a fun introduction to the man named 'Person of the Century' by Time Magazine in 1999.

I have Year 1 and Year 2 - two separate versions with different questions in English pertaining to Einstein.

You get:

1. Complete instructions on how to play.

2. 26 questions colorfully illustrated

3. Answers to the questions

4. Two extra tie-breaker questions, if needed.

Easy to use in any Math or Physics class, too, as all questions are in English, all colorfully illustrated, too.

I use Year 1 with German 1 and Year 2 with German 2 students and enhance the activity with refreshments ~ a birthday cake with 'Happy Birthday Albert Einstein' on it. (63 pages)

.. There's more Einstein trivia in Year 1 ..
