Rules for Group Review
 You must work with your group.
 Only one person may answer for your group.
 You may not talk during other groups’ turns or
your group will lose points.
 If you repeat an incorrect answer, your group
will lose points.
 You may not use anything during Group
Review except your brains.
 If voice levels cannot be controlled, we will
stop playing and instead have a pop quiz.
Bonus Round!!!!
 At the end of each scoring round, there will be an

opportunity for “Garbage Ball”.
For this, one member from each team will be given
the chance to try to shoot the Garbage Ball into the
small garbage can.
If the team member makes the shot, the team earns
that round’s points as extra points.
In the case of excessive cheering, teams can be
penalized.
In the case of excessive insulting, teams can be
penalized.
