Prince Chapman Academy
Subject:
Any
Objective:
Fast Recall of Information
Materials and Preparation:
Chalk Board, chalk
Student Grouping:
two to four teams
The Play:
- Students are put on teams. Larger classes can have
more teams. Smaller classes, fewer teams. Usually I
have boys vs. girls.
- First person on each team goes to the board. Chalk
in hand, a question is asked, first person to write
the correct answer wins that "round".
- Then second person on each team and so on. Winners
get "bragging" rights.
Scoring:
Two teams playing - first correct answer gets two points.
Second correct answer gets one point (more teams = first
correct response four points, second three points, third
two points, fourth one point). Incorrect answers get no
points.
Comments or Variations:
Care may have to be taken to "pair up" (opposite
each other) students of similar abilities. If subject
matter is particularly difficult, or if student at board
doesn't know the answer, he/she may run back to his/her
team for help. Students are cautioned to be quiet with
answers so other team doesn't hear.
More points can be given for multi-part answers or more
difficult questions. First rule of game is Decisions of
the teacher are final!
