Directions:
- Gather the kids and designate a game show host, a scorekeeper and two teams of 3-5 players each. The remaining kids serve as the audience..
- To begin, the host reads the prepared question out loud.
- Each team "huddles" to quickly discuss their answer.
- One person rings the bell when their team thinks they have the right answer.
- The team to ring in first has the first chance to answer the question correctly.
- If the first team to ring in does NOT have the correct answer, the other team gets a chance to guess.
- The team that gives the correct answer scores one point.
- If neither team give the correct answer, the audience is asked if they know the answer.
- The game continues until a designated score or time limit is reached. The team with the most points is declared the winner.
