War... What is it good for? Absolutely EVERYTHING!

I have planned to play the game war this week using cards with decimals to the thousandths place.  http://www.kaganonline.com/catalog/contents/BCDDDecimalWar.pdf  This link I found actually has to do with Kagan teaching techniques, which is a cooperative learning initiative.  I first learned of Kagan from a friend who teaches in Texas!  It's worth looking into for PD http://www.kaganonline.com/index.php

I've also played fractions war, whole number war, ten frames war, and there are so many others!

The game of War could probably be applied to Science animal classification, positions in US government, and anything else needing comparison.  Keep me updated on any new forms of War you play in your classroom! @nhts5
