How it works
A student pulls one of the twenty-four cards at random and reads it aloud, or hands it to you.
Let the conversation go wherever the prompt takes it. There’s no right answer and no need to rush on, and if a card doesn’t fit that day, they can skip it and pick again.
One card is enough for a quick check-in. Work through several for a longer conversation.

Cut the deck apart once and keep it wherever your check-ins tend to happen: a desk drawer, a folder, a coat pocket. The same set lasts all year.
