How to play

1. Split the class into two teams. Call up one student from each to the front with a whiteboard.
2. Ask a question out loud. Both students write their answer without showing it.
3. On your signal, both hold up their board at the same time. A correct answer scores a point for that team; if only one is correct, that team scores.
4. Swap in two new students for the next question.
