Horse/Car Race

=Horse Race = This is pretty much a Q&A game, but with the interesting element of horse racing (you can use race cars, human runners, animals). Have 2-4 “race horses” pre-made with magnets stuck on the back. Create a 10 space race track on the board, with START and FINISH clearly labeled for the students.



How to play:

1)        2-4 Teams are made.

2)        1 student from each team answers for them.

3) <span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">       <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The ALT asks the questions.

Though, expand the race track to at least 20 more spaces (30 spaces), just in case a very lucky team only rolls 6’s.
