Shakedown! Instructions Play Game Quit Brought to you by the International Dark-Sky Association Images © NASA/JPL-Caltech How to Play General Rules: • You must have Microsoft PowerPoint and run it in slide show mode in order for this game to work properly • Break class into groups. Suggested group size is 5-6 students per group. • Group one will choose a difficulty level and point value. Click on that square to read the question. Group one will have approximately 30 seconds to discuss the question and attempt to answer it correctly. • If group one does not know the answer to the question, they can choose to pass it to group two. If group two answers the question correctly, they get the points added to their score. It then becomes group two’s normal turn to choose a question. If group two answers the question incorrectly, they receive no points and it becomes group three’s normal turn. • If group one chooses to answer the question, then click on the chosen answer to reveal if it is correct. If they answered the question correctly, they receive the points for the question and it is group two’s turn. If they answer the question incorrectly, they receive no points and it is group two’s turn. Group two can choose to answer the current question or return to the menu to choose a new one. • Continue in this pattern through all of the groups until every questions has been answered. Score board: Students can keep score on paper or on the board. As each group receives points, add them together. At the end, the group with the most points wins. There is one double-play on the board. When this comes up, students receive double points for getting the correct answer. PowerPoint does not keep track of which squares students have already picked. It is recommended to print slide three from PowerPoint before playing the game and cross off the squares as students choose them. See notes for printer instructions.
