This game can be played with one person as a study tool, or with teams. Each team will print off a
scorecard that is on the next slide.
There are three home buttons that are on every slide.
This button is the Home button and will always take you back to the title card, in case you are through
playing the game or want to start over.
If you are on a slide that is giving you a question, if you press the back arrow it will take you back to the
game board. If you are on a answer slide, the back arrow will send you back to the previous question.
On the slides before the game board, the arrow will either take you directly back to the slide before or
after that slide.
The student will start the game on the tile number 1 on the Game Board where the blue circle says
“Start Here”
After the first question has been answered, the student may go in any order of the questions
The student will click on the number inside the tile, and that will take them to the corresponding
question that connects to that number.
Once the student is at the question tile, they can either go back to the game board or click the next
arrow and go to the answer.
Once on the answer tile, the student can go to the Game Board by pressing the next button or review
the previous question by pressing the back arrow.
The student will get one point per question.
The student can only answer each question once. After each question is answered, that game if over.
