1. Place category envelopes along the chalk tray.
2. Divide the class into teams of four to five members. Names of teams are placed on chalkboard for keeping score.
3. Teacher announces that all students must take a turn before any student can respond twice.
4. A student volunteer from one team chooses a category and an amount. Teacher reads the question from chosen card and the student must answer correctly within one minute. Student may consult with his/her teammates before answering.
5. If student response is correct, points are added under team name on chalkboard preceded by a plus sign, and used question card is placed behind the category envelope. If incorrect, points are deducted under team name preceded by a minus sign. The question card is then returned to the category envelope and another team volunteers to answer.
6. The activity continues until all questions have been answered and scores are tallied. The team with the highest score wins.
