Fact or Forfeit!
10th May 2012
It’s the year 13’s last ever day at school today so I thought it was time to come up with a new idea for a game. Read on to find out how to play ‘fact or forfeit’...
The rules of the game are simple- students have to answer a multiple-choice question. In my powerpoint all the questions come from The Economist’s fabulous ‘World in Figures’ iPad app, available to download free from iTunes. If a student gets the question right, they receive five points. If they get it wrong, they must complete a forfeit- for which they can be awarded up to five points depending on how good they do at completing the forfeit.
There are three files you need to play this game:
1. Powerpoint for the game (to display on your interactive whiteboard or similar)
2. Answer sheet (in theory the answers should light up in green but this is a useful back-up)
3. List of forfeits (some of these are currently specific to my school so may need adapting slightly)
And, of course, feel free to adapt this with your own questions as you see fit.
Enjoy!
