Of Mice and Men Review Game
2
Rules of the Game The class will be separated into TWO teams. One player from each team will stand at the stool with hands behind their backs. Once I have completely read the question, the first player to grab the stuffed dog has a chance to answer.

Rules, Continued If the player gets the answer right, his/her team gets a point. If the answer is wrong, the team loses a point. The chance to answer goes to the opposite team. If the other team answers wrong, they also lose a point, and the question goes to Rock, Paper, Scissors for a “team play.”

Rules, still continued If neither player knows the answer when the question is initially read, it goes to Rock, Paper, Scissors for a “team play.” To recap: hands behind back, wait for question to be FULLY read, wrong answers lose points, and “stumps” go to Rock, Paper, Scissors for the “team play.”
