Spin The Bottle! But, of course, no kissing allowed!

Okay…here’s how it works.  You will be given a score card  On the back draw two vertical (up/down) lines  Now draw 8 horizontal ones  In each square, put ONE letter of the alphabet – in order – so that you have a letter in each square.  The last square can get a smiley face.  The last square can get a smiley face.

Next step  Pick your favorite letter and put your pencil there  Now, number from 50 to 500 in INCREMENTS of 50!!  Like this, 50, 100, 150, 250, etc.  Each box gets a letter and now a point value

It should look like this! A 150 B 200 C 250 D 300 E 50 F 100 G 150 H 200 I 250 J 300 K 350 L 400 M 450 N 500 O 50 P 100 Q 150 R 200 S 250 T 300 U 350 V 400 W 450 X 500 Y 50 Z 100

Now…flip your sheet back over  Everyone starts with 2000 points  Then, with each question, you write your answer in the space provided  If you get it right, you circle the + … get it wrong and circle the –  Then we SPIN and whatever letter is landed on, you find that point value and either add or subtract from 2000

 We will do a total of 10 questions.  Do YOU have any questions??  Then let’s play “Spin the Bottle!”
