This card could be applied in diverse ways but here is one suggestion of how to apply this card. For example, if the lesson is about a character such as Thomas Edison you could apply the card in this way:1. The lesson could be divided into sections: the year he was born, difficulties he faced in life, where he lived, what he invented, what he said, and his photo.

2. Then turn each section into visuals: for example, use cube numbers to show the year he was born; use images and objects to make students think about difficulties he faced in his life; use a map to show where he lived, bring in objects he invented; write on his quotes post notes; bring in his photo.

3. After that, cut out rainbow coloured squares using colourful cardboard and spread them on the floor.
4. Finally, the teacher can spread her/his visuals on the rainbow squares. For example, the teacher can hide some visuals under the squares and put others on the squares.
