Pyramid Contest Rules & Tips 2013

General:

·         Each team will have four members: one 8^th grader, one 9^th grader, one 10^th grader, and one 11^th grader.

·         Native English speaking volunteers are NOT allowed to help students prepare!

·         The games will be AQA, Jeopardy, and Taboo. Every team will be given an MP3 version of a native speaker reading each of the three texts.

·         The winner will be the team with the most overall points in all three games.

AQA:

·         AQA will be divided into two parts. One text will be for the 8^th and 9^th graders. The other text will be for the 10^th and 11^th graders. There will be only one winner from each part.

·         Students will line up. Each student will be given three stars. Each student will be asked a question. It will not be translated into Mongolian, however if the student doesn’t understand, we will ask the question in a variety of ways.

·         The student will have one minute to answer the question. If the answer is correct they move to the back of the line. If the answer is incorrect, the student must give us one star.

·         When the student has no more stars left, that student is out.

·         If a student answers a question incorrectly, we continue asking that question until someone answers correctly. If no student answers that question correctly, we will move on to a different question.

·         All questions will come from the text. There will be no outside research necessary.

Jeopardy:

·         Jeopardy is played as a team with all four students participating.

·         There will be five categories relating to a text (the third text that wasn’t in AQA), with five questions for each category, worth 100-500 points.

·         100 point questions are the easiest, and 500 point questions are the hardest.

·         Students will have 30 seconds to write down an answer on a sheet of paper. After 30 seconds, all teams must hold up their answers at the same time. Any team who does not hold up their answer will receive no points.

·         If the answer is correct, the team receives the amount of points that the question was worth. If the answer is incorrect, the team receives no points.

·         Teams will take turns choosing which question they would like.

Taboo:

·         Each team will choose one member to be the “speaker.” The speaker will receive a list of 30 English words.

·         The speaker must describe the word without actually saying the word (if the word is father, they may not say ‘father.’ If the word is ‘rainbow’ they may not say ‘rain’). If the speaker says the word, they will receive no points for it.

·         The other three team members must guess the word. If they guess correctly, they receive a point for that word.

·         Each team has three minutes to guess as many words as possible.

·         The speaker does not need to go in order. He/she may skip around to whichever ones they want.

Tips for Helping Students:

·         Create a list of words and have your students practice taboo. Find out which student is more comfortable describing them beforehand.

·         After reading the AQA texts, create practice questions so that you can quiz your students.

·         Use the MP3s of the text to carefully listen to the pronunciation of names and places. This will help students understand the questions when a native speaker asks.

·         After reading the Jeopardy text, create questions for students to practice with. Make some easy, and make some very difficult.
