Decide whether students are going to play individually or on teamsChoose and click on a topic, this will take you to numbered question choicesChoose and click on a question in the strandChoose an answer, if it is correct Jeff Foxworthy will congratulate you, if it is correct Jeff will nicely tell you – then click on the pink rectangle with the triangle, it will take you back to Pick a Topic. If you are not sure of an answer, you can choose a “Cheat.” PEEK takes you a slide that has eliminated two wrong answers. ACE will take you to Jeff who will ask you to choose someone that can help you (Ask a Classmate Expert). The u-turn or pick rectangle will send you back to Pick a Topic.The dollar amounts on the Pick a Topic can be used to keep score. When clicked on, they will change colors.
