THE TIME MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE DS 107: College Survival
Rules of the Game 1. there will be 3 teams competing against each other. Select one spokesperson to represent your group. 2. Points will be awarded for each right answer and deducted for incorrect answers based on the number of points the question is worth. 3. When a question is answered incorrectly the other teams will have a chance to steal it. There will be a coin toss to decide which team will have the opportunity to steal first.
Rules of the Game When a team gets stuck they have the opportunity to use two lifelines: “The Book” and “50/50.” Use these wisely because they can be used only once during round 1. When the “50/50” is used the question can not be stolen by the other teams.
