How does Cranium Club work? Students who are interested in stretching their brains can work on Cranium Club questions during free time at home or at school. When you feel you have mastered the answer(s) to a question, request a time before or after school to tell me your answers orally. (A few challenges involve written quizzes.) You will either "pass" or not. If you don't pass on the first try, you can try again another day. *Cranium Club* is designed for the joy, challenge, and satisfaction of learning. It does NOT count for a grade.
