Start 4 1 6 2 5 3 Instructions: Running the activity: Note: You must enable ‘macros’ when prompted. Running the activity: Separate class into 2 teams (team 1 and team 2). Team 1 will always answer first. Run the slideshow from slide 1 and explain that this is a penalty shootout. Each team will receive three questions (each with one correct and one incorrect answer). The team which gets the most correct answers is the winner. When ready, click on ‘Start’. The first question and two possible answers will be on screen. After allowing discussion, ask team 1 which answer do they wish to go for (L for Left or R for Right). Click on the team’s answer. On the next screen (shootout screen) click on the ball and the team will be told if they are correct or not. Click on ‘Return’ to go back to the question screen. The correct answer is highlighted in green. Click on ‘Next’ for the next question. Question 2 should be answered by team 2. Follow the same procedure as question 1. With the remaining four questions, ask Team 1 and 2 alternately. If at the end of the 6 questions the teams are tied, click on the ‘Tie-break’ button. Allow students a few moments to come up with an answer (it is usually a good idea if they write their answer down). Click on ‘Click for answer’ to reveal the answer and calculate which team has won (which team was nearest to the correct answer).
