Chapter 2 ReviewMr. Hauser

Rules of the Game

• Working in TEAMS, you will be asked to answer questions from the assigned chapters.

• You have 30 seconds to write the answer down on the dry erase board.

• When the teacher says TIME’S UP, a team leader will stand up and show the teacher their answer.

Rules (Continued)

• Each correct answer is worth one point, unless otherwise stated.

• Teams can lose points for inappropriate conduct, comments, or cheating.

• The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!
