Cut the index cards or small pieces of paper into individual question cards. Write one question on each card. 5. Start the game by flipping a coin to determine which team goes first. 6. The first team selects a player to come forward and draw a question card from a hat or container. 7. The player reads the question aloud and has 30 seconds to answer. If the player answers correctly, their team earns a point. If the player answers incorrectly, the question goes to the opposing team for a chance to steal the point. 8. Repeat the process, alternating between teams, until all the questions have been answered or a predetermined number of rounds have been completed. 9. Keep track of each team’s score on the board. 10. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins. You can award prizes to the winning team if desired.
