TIP!

To make the game more exciting, tell the learners that: 

  • each correct answer is worth the points indicated on the box.
  • each incorrect answer means that the number of points thequestion is worth is deducted from the total.
  • if the group is not certain about the answer, they can choose not to answer the question and get 0 points.
  • if a group gives an incorrect answer or does not answer the question, any other group can answer it. 

Encourage the learners to work together as a group and discuss the answers first.
