Here are the basics: 1. Write a sentence on the board and set a time limit.
2. Students write down everything that they can about the grammar of the sentence.
3. When the time is up, students individually share their observations. If anyone else in the room has the same observation, they must cross if off of their list. If they are the only ones who have made that particular observation, they get a point.
4. Whoever has the most points wins.
