Historical Note

Regarding small groups playing separate from the whole class:

The original ConFluency Card Games were played (and developed) with 4 students at a time, for 25 minutes, in the school library with the foreign English teacher. Thus, 2 groups of 4 students were able to participate during each 50 minute class; several weeks were required to cycle all of the students into the activity.
This schedule allowed for very direct interaction between the foreign teacher and each student. A separate Accuracy checking activity wasn’t needed. For small classes, in an English Conversation school setting, for example, play in small groups is certainly possible.
As the ConFluency Card activity was developed and refined, it began to be played in the whole class in the patterns described above. As such, a way to check student accuracy, CROSSFIRE, was added to the regular ConFluency class.
