early human history and Central & South America Jeopardy
What You Need To Know Every team will be chosen by Joe with the intention of mixing girls and boys and grade levels. Teams can choose a name if desired. A team takes its turn once its name is drawn from the hat. team names remain out of the hat until each team has answered. Teams have up to two minutes to answer a question. any team can steal an answer for half points. Teams have only 10 seconds to make a steal. The order of steals is determined by rolling a die. Categories are chosen by the team whose name has been drawn. Lower point questions must be chosen first. Teams that work together - share ideas, decide on topics in a civilized manner, have more than one person share answers - will get bonus points at the end of the game. this is competitive. winners will leave with pride, no prizes. Though Joe might give the winning team a high five, which is priceless. Bragging is not encouraged. You should take notes. There will be a quiz on this in the future. This slideshow will be put online. In other words, you will have access to the questions; your notes should have all of the answers.
