Electric Circuits Series & Parallel NO PREP GRADE 4 SCIENCE GAME - VERY UNFAIR
This game is VERY UNFAIR and the kids love it! The Very Unfair Game is a No Prep Science review game where students earn points for answering correctly, but the points can be positive or negative, and can be assigned to your team or your opponents’ team! And to make it the VERY Unfair Game, if you get the answer wrong, then the opposing team gets to assign the points to any team they choose. The goal is to have the score the closest to zero at the end of the game. The game is playable with the
