Shoot Shoot OutOut

A game of mental skill and

science agility!

How to Play1. Divide into 2 teams. Assign one person in

each team to be the score keeper. Assign another person in your team to be your coach. The coach is the person who will give your team’s answers.

2. Your teacher will decide which team will get to shoot first. (It will probably be the quieter team.)

3. When it is your team’s turn, you will read a question on the screen. Your team must decide on an answer together and then your coach will tell the referee (your teacher) your answer.

How to Play4. The referee will tell your team if your

answer is correct or incorrect. If your team’s answer is correct, you will receive 2 or 3 points depending on the question you selected. The score keeper must keep track of your team’s score.

5. If your team’s answer is incorrect, the other team can steal the ball from you by correctly answering your question for DOUBLE the points.
