29. Directions
While the music is playing you are moving quickly but safely around the table until the music stops.
The direction that you will rotate around the table will be based on the color shown on the power point slide up front (blue is right and green is left) and may change without warning – so be sure to watch the screen.
If you land on the seat with the X you “might” have to answer a question (selection will be determined by card on your table)
Good luck!!! 
