If you are a contestant, you will be sitting at the front
of the classroom. When it is your turn, please stand
up and get ready to write your answers on the board.
You only need to write the underlined words.

If you are in the audience, you are encouraged to tell
answers to the contestant at the board. Your main
focus should be writing down the sequences in the
rows on your paper.

If a contestant gets a wrong answer, I will write a big
red X on the screen to mean ‘strike one’. If you get
three strikes, we’ll move on to the other team.
