Time
15-20 min
Materials
Cards with vocabulary/questions and a few cards with bombs on them
Directions
Split students into teams and have them janken to decide the starting team. During each turn, students draw three cards from an envelope/bag. They must say the vocabulary word or answer the question on the card, and get one point if they get it right. If it is a bomb, they lose 3-5 points. Have them return the cards to the envelope.
For added stakes, make one king bomb that takes away all their cards!
