Lucky Reading Game

• One by one a teammember will come forward to answer a question.
• First number 1, number 2, etc.
• The teammember in front will get a piece of paper and marker to answer the text.
• Each time, you will have 15 to 30 seconds to answer the question.
• Is your answer correct? Draw your card(s)! 
• Teammembers helping you from across the room? No cards for your team!
• The cards will determine the amount of points for each team in the end.
• The team with the most points in the end will be our winner!
  
  So, to win, you do not necessarily need the most right answers - you need the most points! And of course, a little luck...

• Use WH-questions (who, where, when, etc.) to make sure everybody understands the text.
  
• Give each teammember a number.
