Rules for Review Game:

Each team member MUST volunteer to represent their team at least once.
* Once the question has been presented, each team will use the research
tools they have available to help their representative answer the
question.
* First representative to write the answer correctly receives 1 point
for their team, and gets to shoot a freethrow for additional points.
* The team with most points at the end of the allotted time wins.
Procedures for Review Game:
* Start by asking for a volunteer to keep score for each team. This
can also be done by the teacher if nobody volunteers.
* Next, divide the students into teams (15 players max per team).
Have each team come up with a team name.
* Once each team is ready, the teacher can begin presenting the questions.
* One volunteer from each team will go up to the whiteboard to answer.
Their team can help them answer the question by using the research
tools they have available. Note: Internet use should be monitored.
* Once a team answers correctly, the scorekeeper will record one point
for that team and their representative will shoot for additional points.
* Students have the option of shooting for one point, two points,
three points, or ten points.
* After the shot is taken, points are recorded and each team sends
a new rep to the whiteboard to answer the next question.
* The team with the most points at the end of the allotted time wins
the game. The winning team receives 5 extra credit points in addition
to the 5 extra credit points they receive for attending, for a total
