Suggestions for use: Print out the Powerpoint slides and place around the room. Set groups into teams. You will ask a question about the Olympics and the answer will be on one of the slides printed on the wall. When you ask the question, students can discuss the answer first. Then, only one person from each group can leave the table to find the answer. They must not call out the answer back to table, it must be secretive or else point will not be rewarded for correct answer. The student who left the group to look for the answer will only be given a certain amount of time to look for answer. If they are not back in their original seat before time up, the point cannot be rewarded for answer. Groups write down their answers onto sheet.
