A QUICK LOOK AT KNOCKOUT™ & HOW IT IS PLAYED

1 - Divide your class into 2 single file lines

2 - Display the first slide 

3 - The player at the front of his/her line faces off against the player from the other team: the first player to answer his/her question correctly wins and returns to the end of the line!

4 - The player who does not win goes to sit on the team "bench" to cheer on the team!

✋ BUT WAIT: That's not all.

If a player faces these slides, the following could happen:

✅ Double Free Pass: Both players automatically get to stay in the game!

✅ Double Knockout™: Both players are automatically out!

✅ Knockout™/Free Pass: One player leaves, one stays!

✅ Pick a Pal: Choose a player from the bench to return to the game!
