Your team will answer up to 8 rounds of questions on the BOB books. Each round has 20-25 questions.
Group Oral Q & typed A - teams sit together. Facilitator will read the questions out loud, groups answer all questions together.
Group Knock out - teams sit together to read and answer questions as a group. The first team to complete all 25 questions stops the battle for all other teams. No one can type in an answer after a group completes all questions and calls stop.
Relay Race - each team sends one member to a Chromebook (about 15 ft away) to get a Battle Question. If they know the answer, they answer it and run back to their team for the next member to run to the Chromebook and get another question.
If they don't know the answer, they run back to their team, ask them the question, then run back to their CB to type the answer. All the other teams battling at the same time.
First team to finish all questions in that round, stops that Battle Round.
The team with the most points/correct answers, wins !
