For little kids (Kdg or beginning first grade and/or special needs kids who do not know letters or read yet,) my colleague, Kim, developed a "back" to paste onto the cards. Each side of the card has a colored square on it. So where the "A" is on the front, if you check the back, there is a red square. Where there is a "B" on the front there is a yellow square and so on. So when a child wants to choose "A" for a response, he makes sure he is looking at the back of the card and the red square is on the top. That way the front of the card is still facing me so I can scan it. Yes, cheating CAN be a problem, but we tell the students once they have chosen which color will be on the top, to hold the card against their chests (or in front of their faces) and then I scan it. It works well with the little kids. We're new to Plickers, so just trying to make it work for our littles. :)
