QUIZ BOWL!
S
Day 1
S
MATERIALS & SET UP: Each team will need: a dice, a whiteboard, dry erase marker,
a pad of post-its, a pencil, index cards, and a suction cup ball (that sticks to the wall).
On the board, we write what each number on the die stands for. You will need this
PowerPoint 
PLAY: Divide your class into teams. Each team takes turn rolling the dice! The students
should roll the dice BEFORE you change to the next slide. Then the games begin!
Here’s what each number stands for:
1 – INDIVIDUAL: The student who rolls the dice is responsible for answering the
question with no help from their team. If they get it wrong, an INDIVIDUAL (the next
player up) from the next team gets a chance to answer.
2 – TEAM DISCUSS: The player who rolls is responsible for reporting an answer, but
the student may discuss the answer choices with their team first. The first answer they
give is the one I take.
3 – POST IT: The player up from EACH team will race to write the correct answer on
their post it. They may have help from their team. The player then RACES to the front
of the room and sticks the post it on the board. The first post it up is the first one I look
at. If it’s wrong, I move on to the next fastest player. Once the post it is on the board, it
cannot be changed.
S
4 – WHITE BOARDS: The player up from EACH team will race to write the correct
answer on their white board. They may have help from their team. The first team who
stands up and raises their whiteboard in the air, is the first answer I look at. If it is
wrong, I move on to the next fastest player. Once the board is up, the answer cannot be
changed.
5 – INDEX CARD: The player up from EACH team will first RUN around their team’s
table. THEN they will race to write the correct answer on their index. They may have
help from their team. The first team who raises their index card in the air, is the first
answer I look at. If it is wrong, I move on to the next fastest player. Once the card is up,
the answer cannot be changed.
6 – STICKY BALL: The player up from EACH team quickly discuss the answer with
their team. Once they know the answer, they will throw the sticky ball to the
whiteboard. The first team to hit the board will IMMEDIATELY give their answer (no
time to think/discuss. They must do this before). If the answer is wrong, I move on to
the next fastest player.
SCORING: Each correct answer receives ONE point for their team. If a team is able to
identify WHY each answer choice is correct or incorrect, they earn an additional point
for their team.
WINNING: The team with the most points after an even amount of turns wins!
