Good tip! Thanks, Denise!
ooh - love your ideas Bronwen. Teach Starter team, would you be able to add these variations to the collection please? I'm going to play this with my seniors - you'd be surprised how much Year 11 and Year 12 students like to do these sort of games.
Hi there, Thanks for your suggestion. I am so glad that you are using The Bean Game with Year 11 and 12. I will look into the possibility of adding new beans to the collection! Have a great day! Ali
I have been using Beans a lot in the last few years. We have many many Beans! Hot Beans, Cold Beans, Jumping Beans, Runner Beans, Navy Beans (salute), Baby Beans (Rock the baby), Mean Beans (Grrr!) climbing Beans, Can O' Beans (Pair up), Three Bean Mix (Groups of three) , Bean Salsa (A little salsa dance), always careful to remind them that beans are silent but deadly....
Hi Bronwen, Thanks for sharing your 'Bean' story and for sharing more varieties to add to the collection! Have a great day.
