How to play
Players decide if chance scenarios are 'equally likely', 'likely' or 'unlikely' and run to the corresponding line.
All students line up along the centre line.
Explain to students that the centre line is 'equally likely', the line to left of the centre line is 'likely' and the line to the right of the centre line is 'unlikely'.
The teacher calls out a chance scenario. Eg. You will get an odd number when you roll a dice.
Students must decide if the scenario is 'equally likely', likely' or 'unlikely'.
If the scenario is 'equally likely', players remain on the centre line.
If the scenario is likely, playes run to the line marked 'likely' and to the 'unlikely' line if they feel the scenario is unlikely.
Players who don't move to the correct line are eliminated.
