  1. Chapter 12 Review Mr. Hauser

  2. Rules of the Game • Working in TEAMS, you will be asked to answer questions from the assigned chapters. • You have 30 seconds to write the answer down on the dry erase board. • When the teacher says TIME’S UP, a team leader will stand up and show the teacher their answer.

  3. Rules (Continued) • Each correct answer is worth one point, unless otherwise stated. • Teams can lose points for inappropriate conduct, comments, or cheating. • The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!
