Individual Events will not be scored. They are just for fun. Every student should be able to participate in every event (except for Hot Shot) as long as you move quickly from station to station and go over the games with your students ahead of time.
Go ahead and divide your homeroom into 4 teams (A, B, C, and D) that will compete against each other at each event. If a team(s) has an odd number of students, designate someone to go twice. Having your students divided in advance will allow you to start playing your game as soon as you get to your station.
For events that take PARTNERS, go ahead and have your students pick partners within their teams. If you have an odd number on a team, designate someone to go twice.
Rotate to your next station when you hear the bullhorn. Station 1, goes to Station 2, etc.. All the way to Station 15…Station 15, goes to Station 1, then 2, etc..
