The Top Trumps group is creating a trading card game that highlights the traditions and events of IST.
The Top Trumps group have finished their research and planning, and are now almost finished drafting their cards.
They have been researching a lot about Top Trumps cards. Almost all of their information has come from the IST website, Wikipedia, and the Top Trumps official website (www.toptrumps.com). They also have been looking at the IST yearbooks to find special events that IST have done for a long time.
They are going to have 30 different cards with a different place, event or a person on each one. Some examples are Mr. Moody, library, and UN day. They will have 5 categories that the people playing will choose from:
- Internationalness
- Duration
- Excitement
- Amount of people involved
- Educational value.
All of the members in the Top Trumps Group like all the cards they have made but their favorite event cards are UN day (Arthur), Soccer tournament (Zen), and Thursday Night Live (Peter). Seung Wook likes the card about Mr. Moody.
They are hoping to finish their cards today and they are going to hope to test it out tomorrow. They will first test the cards in their group then they will ask other students to play.

Oh, this is very exciting. I was wondering who will be featuring on the cards? Do I get my own card? Can I buy them? Will you introduce a IST Top Trumps competition? Wouldn’t a recess in the playroom competition be really good fun!

Thanks, Anjali. Hope you are settling in down in Australia. We do plan to post photos of the cards. Hilma is in charge of that and you know she’ll do a great job. Stay tuned.
