How to play:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Organise your students into teams.<\/li>\n
- Your list of terms will slowly be revealed, letter by letter, in reverse alphabetical order.<\/li>\n
- Students raise their hands as soon as they think they can:\n
\n- EITHER identify what the terms are (for 1 point)<\/li>\n
- OR identify what all the terms have in common (for 2 points)<\/li>\n
- OR explain which one is the odd one out (for 3 points)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- As soon as a hand is raised, the teacher ‘stops the clock’ to hear the answer.<\/li>\n
- If the team answers incorrectly, it is frozen out of further play and the game resumes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
How to create your own:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- \n
\n- In the first line of the box, provide a list of comma-separated terms.\n
\n- (Optional): Add an equals symbol (“=”) at the end followed by a suggested answer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Repeat for the second and subsequent lines in the box for further ’rounds’ of the quiz.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
