Unit 5 Basketball Game Jennie L. Borders
Rules • Pick a team, and we will go in a specific order. • On your team’s turn, you will answer a question. If you get the question correct, then your team receives 1 point. You can then pick a team member to shoot the ball. If they ring the basket, then your team gets the amount of points on the line they picked to shoot from. • If a team misses a question, then the next team can steal the question to get 1 point, but they don’t get to shoot until they answer their own question. The question will continue until a team gets it correct.
