Review Questions/Flashcards - there are 10 questions for each team in the PowerPoint.  However, pressing the button in the top right corner of the slide will end the game with a winner (depending on which color button you click).

 

 

 

Directions

 

1.  This game is suitable for the whole class to participate, but split into 4 groups.  Create a 'hot seat' for each team and

     assign each team a "runner" on the game board.

 

2.  Ask Team 1 a question (or show a flashcard).

 

3.  The student from Team 1 in the hot seat must answer the question.  

 

     * If they answer correctly, their runner will move ahead one space (clicking the box at top of slide). 

 

     * If they answer incorrectly, their runner does not move ahead one space. 

 

4.  Give each team 1-2 'lifelines'.  These lifelines can be used if the student in the hot seat does not know the answer, then

     they may ask 1 teammate for help.  However, once a teammate has served as a 'lifeline' they cannot be used again in

     this capacity during the game. 

 

 

Extra Things

 

The final prize goes to the whole team - not just the individual who answered the winning question.
