Wipeout - Team Challenge (4)
Recommend on Google+
This team challenge is called Wipeout! Students compete in teams to get and retain the highest point score. Successful identification of correct answers leads to an increase in points. Incorrect answers will lead to a total “Wipeout” of any score achieved.
How to play:
The challenge is to identify the correct answers on the board and earn points - 10 points for each correct answer.
Using any method you wish (e.g. Drawing straws or perhaps the “Generator X” from Team Challenge 1) determine which team goes first.
Team 1 is shown the first Wipeout board.
The team chooses the first answer that they think is correct (from the question posed at the bottom of the screen.) The games master then clicks on the teams answer. If they are correct they will get a ‘star’ symbol.
With a correct answer under their belt, they can choose to pick another answer and continue until they feel they cannot identify anymore correct answers, at which point they may choose to stick on their current point score.
The risk for students is in choosing an incorrect answer - they will get the “W”symbol and any score achieved is completely wiped out.
Will the students play it safe or go for the maximum score and risk being wiped out?
3 boards for 3 teams – may the best team win!
Scoring:
The team scores points based upon the number of correct answers already given – the 1st star on the board brings 10 points, the 2nd brings 20 points and so on. Each quiz has a slightly different number of correct answers, and they are in different positions too.
Technical Point - The file is a PowerPoint MacroShow, which will run when clicked and is not editable.
