In this activity, learners use various dress-up or costume pieces to play a game of change. Players will try to subtly change one thing about them while the partner has to try to describe what has changed. This lesson plan contains Texas standards (TEKS), background information, key vocabulary, material list, procedures, questions to ask, extensions, and additional resources. This activity can be used on its own or combined with a visit to the Think Tank exhibit at the Children's Museum of Houston.
