2. How To Play Main Menu General Rules: 1) You must have Microsoft PowerPoint and run it in slide show mode in order for this game to work properly 2) Break class into groups. Suggested group size is 5-6 students per group. 3)Group one will choose a difficulty level and point value. Click on that square to read the question. Group one will have approximately 30 seconds to discuss the question and attempt to answer it correctly. 4) If group one does not know the answer to the question, they can choose to pass it to group two. If group two answers the question correctly, they get the points added to their score. It then becomes group two’s normal turn to choose a question. If group two answers the question incorrectly, they receive no points and it becomes group three’s normal turn. 5) If group one chooses to answer the question, then click on the question to reveal the answer. If they answered the question correctly, they receive the points for the question and it is group two’s turn. If they answer the question incorrectly, they receive no points and it is group two’s turn. 6) If group two answers the question incorrectly, they get no points, and the turn moves to group three. 7)Continue in this pattern until all of the questions have been answered. Score board: Students can keep score on paper or on the board. As each group receives points, add them together. At the end, the group with the most points wins. There are three double-plays on the board. When these come up, students receive double points for getting the correct answer. PowerPoint does not keep track of which squares students have already picked. It is recommended to print slide three from PowerPoint before playing the game and cross off the squares as students choose them. See notes for printer instructions.
