NewzBrain Wash
- Divide the class into two-four teams with captains.
- When playing wash, a question is worth one tally regardless of the point value given.
- Bonus questions must be saved for the end of the game when the "Wash Question" determines the winner.
- Flip a coin to see which team goes first.
- Teacher reads four (4) questions from the same category to Team 1. Team 1 has the opportunity to answer all four questions right for four tallies. If Team 1 misses a question Team 2 can immediately answer the question correctly to gain a tally. If Team 2 misses than Team 3 can gain the tally and so on.
- After Team 1 is finished with their four questions, the teacher then reads four questions of another category to Team 2. If Team 2 answers all four questions correctly, they gain four tallies. If Team 2 misses any of their four questions Team 3 can immediately answer the questions correctly to gain to tally and so on.
- After round one ends, compare the tally points of each team. If the tally points are equal (ex: Team 1 has 3 tallies and Team 2 has 3 tallies) the game continues with two run-off questions for the tied teams.
- After round one, if one of the teams leads in tallies they have just won the right to answer a "Wash Question" (Bonus) delivered at the discretion of the teacher. Discretion means the teacher can choose the bonus question from any of the categories within the NewzBrain Weekly game or the teacher can have team(s) behind choose the Wash category. If the team in the lead misses the "Wash Question" the next leading team can answer the "Wash Question" and be declared the winner.
In summary, teams are playing for a chance to answer a final "Wash Question" to determine the winner.
