| There are a number of ways in
which to choose which students will be in the "Hot Seat." The
easiest way is to simply have students put their name on a slip of paper
and draw one from a hat. Everyone in class has an equal chance of being
a contestant.
Another, more competitive way is to write
a problem on the board. It can be a question relating to anything that
has been taught this school year. Students write their answer on a slip
of paper, put their name on it, and put it in a hat. When a piece of
paper is drawn, the person whose name is on the paper is only eligible
if they answered the question correctly. (Eligibility requirements have
been met. More closely mimics the rules of the game show.)
Examples of questions I've used are
putting words in ABC order (primary grades), putting numerical values in
order which may include decimals or fractions depending on grade level
of students, matching famous people with their accomplishments, and so
on. |
