  1. Materials: Every group will receive an envelope containing a green and a pink index card. Object of the Game: To end the game with any positive number of points. When a group achieves this, all of its members will receive the same amount of extra credit. Procedure: 1. The game has six rounds. During each round, you will have a few minutes to decide whether you want to play a green card or a pink card. You may send a representative to talk to other groups about what color each group should play. Once you decide which card to play, hide that card under one person’s desk. Hide your other card in the envelope, and put the envelope in the middle of your group of desks. Everyone Can Win Game Directions

  2. 2. At the end of each round, all groups will be asked to reveal their cards by quickly holding them up, at the same time. • If all groups play green, every group will receive positive points. • If some groups play green and some play pink, groups that played green will receive negative points, and groups that played pink will receive positive points. • If all groups play pink, every group will receive negative points. 3. After each round, you will receive positive or negative points for that round. The point values double for each round, as follows: • Round 1: ±1 point • Round 2: ±2 points • Round 3: ±4 points • Round 4: ±8 points • Round 5: ±16 points • Round 6: ±32 points 4. After Round 6, groups that ended with a positive number of points will earn extra credit.
