2. Random Card Shuffler -- Use playing cards to set up group activities, assign group jobs and use the shuffler to randomly call on students during activity

Hand out cards at the beginning of the class -- use them to create groups (aces, twos, threes, etc)
- If you only want groups of two or three, take out a suit or two
You can now set up the Random Card Puller to select only the cards and suits you handed out to students
Ask a question to entire class and use the random card puller to choose a card. That is the student who will answer the question.
Use a Joker in the random card puller to open up a 'free for all' question that students can answer for a prize.
