Vocabulary Quiz 9 Review

Bucket Ball One student from each team will compete for every question. The team that guesses the correct answer the fastest receives one point. The two students competing against each other will be seated in two chairs in the front of the room.
3
The two students competing need to stand up, either toss or place their foam ball in the bucket located in front of their chair, and then sit down if they know the answer to the question. The student who successfully makes a “basket” and sits down first will be given the option to answer the question on the slide. The student must answer promptly, or their turn will be given to their competitor. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins CANDY!

Hot Seat Game One person from one team will sit in a chair at the front of the room facing away from the board. (Teams will alternate turns.) The team’s task is to get the person on the hot seat to guess which vocabulary word they are describing (the word will be on the slide).
36
Hot Seat Rules Teams are only allowed to give three ONE word clues. If you say a word, then it counts! You only have one minute per round. The person on the hot seat can only guess twice. If he/she guesses correctly the first time, he/she will receive two points and will receive one point for the second guess.
37
Unacceptable Clues You may not say words that sound similar (not a rhyming game). You may not say any part of the word. You may not say what the letter the vocabulary word begins with. You may not use hand motions. *All decisions of the game show host are final.
38
Example If the word on the slide reads Capricious, then one team could say three words that tie into the definition (you can’t decide). OR the team could give three synonyms (fickle, changeable, unpredictable) OR you could say (Ms. Landon’s song)
