 Rules for Group Review

You must work with your group.

Only one person may answer for your group.
You may not talk during other groups turns or
your group will lose points.
If you repeat an incorrect answer, your group
will lose points.
You may not use anything during Group
Review except your brains.
If voice levels cannot be controlled, we will
stop playing and instead have a pop quiz.
 Bonus Round!!!!

At the end of each scoring round, there will be an

opportunity for Garbage Ball.
For this, one member from each team will be given the
chance to try to shoot the Garbage Ball into the small
garbage can.
If the team member makes the shot, the team earns that
rounds points as extra points.
In the case of excessive cheering, teams can be penalized.
In the case of excessive insulting, teams can be penalized.

The Bad Piggies (AKA Pigs or Green Pigs) are the

main bad guys in the Angry Birds series, and are
constantly stealing the Birds unhatched eggs, desiring
to cook and eat them. In order to prevent the Birds
from taking back their eggs, the King Pig commands

structures to keep the Birds from reaching him.

eggs back usually by destroying their buildings to get
to the Pigs.
