Questions for game: In a group of 3-5, one person will be the reader. Questions will then be read to person 1 (randomly determine who is #1). The person keeps getting questions until they miss. Maximum of 10 questions in a row. Each correct answer is a point. If they miss, the next person gets to try to answer the missed question for two points. If that person misses, the next person gets a crack at it. In either case when the question is finally completed (either answered correctly or everyone has missed) the turn moves one person to the left of the person who originally missed. Keep playing until all questions are completed.
