WHAT AM I? Classification Game
GAME INSTRUCTIONS 1. Get an ipad and scorecard 2. Pick your teams (2 against 2 OR 1 against 1) & choose who will play first 3. Pull up game slides on teacher website 4. The team guessing can ask ANY 6 questions to try to determine which Kingdom the organism belongs in (the opposing team will let you know if you are correct or not) 5. You can ask if it is a specific kingdom as soon as you think you know it; however, if you guess incorrectly, then you automatically get it WRONG! 6. You have 1 minute per turn to guess as many Kingdoms as possible. Then rotate teams back and forth until game ends. 7. Keep score of which team guesses the most CORRECT Kingdoms as winning teams will get a prize!!
Slide will provide information your opponent might need in order to determine if you are correct or not, which might include the following: KINGDOM PLANTAE : Palm Tree Cellulose in cell wall Autotroph Immobile Flowering, seeded, vascular Plant -Kingdom -Nonliving vs. living -Single or multicellular -Nutrition method -Invertebrate vs. chordate -Helpful or harmful to humans -Ectoderm vs. endoderm -Cell wall components
