How's Your Comprehension? (Donut Dilemma Companion Cards)

Listening to factual information and holding on to the details long enough to answer questions is demanding for many students. How’s Your Comprehension builds that listening comprehension inside the Donut Dilemma game.

Build listening comprehension and recall through high-interest factual passages in a cooperative game.

This companion set adds 50 comprehension cards to the Donut Dilemma game. Students listen to high-interest factual passages, then answer questions about what they heard, stacking a donut with each turn as the tower grows.

Skill targets:

• Listening to factual passages
• Recalling key details
• Answering comprehension questions
• Building factual understanding

How to play:

1. Pair the cards with the Donut Dilemma game.
2. A player rolls the die.
3. The die shows a donut type, so the player takes a matching card.
4. The player answers the question on the card.
5. After answering, the player adds a donut to the tower on the wobbly saucer.
6. Play continues cooperatively until the tower is built without toppling.
