STUDENTS: 20 TIME: 35min FINISHED GAME?: No

I have played this with 5th grade and with 6th grade, with students in teams writing their answers on whiteboards; so far, no classes have ever finished the whole game. I tend to play it during review classes where we aren't teaching from the textbook, just sitting the kids down, explaining the game, and playing it until the end of class.

STUDENTS: 28 TIME: ~35min FINISHED GAME?: Yes

played with 6 teams

STUDENTS: 30 TIME: ~40-70min FINISHED GAME?: No

I played this with various classes in the same grade. The kids loved the mini-games. I did alter some of the games a little. for the wheel, i asked them how many times, 1-5, they wanted to spin it and if they ever landed on the bomb, it's a 0 pointer. 1 team was very behind on points, so on the last round, i gave them a choice of double or nothing! It was so fun, thank you for this game!!
