• Split the group into
two teams that will
be presented with
a table similar to:
Instructions
• The first team chooses a category value. The leader
clicks on the selection to bring up the definition and the
team tries to identify the correct concept.
• If the team fails to answer correctly, the other team gets
one opportunity to answer. If neither team guesses
correctly, those points are not awarded.
• The team with the correct answer wins the number of points
on the chart. Play continues until time runs out or all items on
the board have been selected.
• The team with the most accumulated points wins!
