GRUDGE BALL

GRUDGE BALL

How to play • Break up into 5 or 6 teams • Each team starts with 20 “X’s” • Each team gets a question – If you get it right, you get to remove 1 “X” from another team’s board – If you get it wrong, you must remove 1 “X” from your board

• BUT before you remove the “X”, you have a chance to increase the ability to get other teams to hate them – From the 1st line = 1 extra “X’s” – From the 2nd line = 2 extra “X’s” – You may take them all from one team or split them up

• Each team takes turns • No more “X’s”? You’re out. – BUT you can get back on the board. • Answer a question correctly AND take a shot. YOU MUST do both! Make the shot, you’re back on the board • 1st line = 2 “X’s” • 2nd line = 3 “X’s”
