Ms. Tulley’s 2 nd Grade Lesson 4/19/2012

How to Play Get into your teams – Lorax or Truffula Tree One person at a time from one team at a time will play. Teams will alternate. If the Lorax team goes first, then the Truffula team with go, then the Lorax, then the Truffula…

How to Play Choose a category that is BLUE! You cannot choose a PURPLE category. Ms. Tulley will read the question and answer choices aloud. Listen quietly! Team member at the front of the class will answer question. Once the question is answered, Ms. Tulley will read the response on the Correct or Incorrect slide. Player will return to their team. For every question answered correctly, that team will be rewarded the amount of points the question was worth (100 to 400). Each team will get 3 “Call a Friend” for when a student needs help answering a question.

Rules Stay in your groups! Do not get up and walk around, because you might miss your turn. Be RESPECTFUL! Cheer on your classmates, but don’t scream out the answers. Points will be deducted or not rewarded if team members yell answers when their teammate is answering. Be quiet when Ms. Tulley is reading the question and answer choices so everyone can hear. Each player will have a very short amount of time to answer question. Everyone needs a turn, so one person can’t stay at the front of the class for more than a minute.
