RULESThe game lasts for 30 minutes only. You must rack up

the most points you can in that 30 minutes. The team with the most points wins.

There will be 3 teams.The students will line up. The person in the front will

have a buzzer. Of the three teams, the first to hit the buzzer will hit the button. The students must answer the questions in Jeopardy format, who is, what is, when is, where is, etc. If that student doesn’t get the answer right the other two students have a chance. If none of them get it, then they will hand the buzzers off and continue the process. Once the question is answered, the students rotate to the back of the line.
