Win bathroom passes! Review Games (2)

Break into two teams with an even number. Review Game: Bluff Break into two teams with an even number.

Bluff You have one minute to think. Team A will be asked a question. All the people in A that think they know the answer in one minute may stand up. Count the number of people standing up. That is the number of points available. Team B selects one person from group A to answer the question. If the A person gets it right, Team A gets the points. If they get it wrong, anyone in Team B may answer the question. If Team B answers correctly, they get the number of points based on Team A’s standers. Bluff so your team gets more points…

Team A Starts Define a negative reinforcer with an example.

Team B Starts Give an example for the three types of memory (tell me which type they are).
