Directions
Students answer questions as a team. If questions are answered correctly the team earns a vote.
If team is incorrect, the question will pass to the next team. MC and TF questions only provide one vote to the correct team. Improv, Trivia, and Drawing questions may provide a vote to more than one team.

Students cast a vote against another player or team by taking one or their stars. If you lose all your stars, your battleship sinks! If a player or team loses all their stars, they may continue to play the game and cast votes if they answer questions correctly. The team with the most stars at the end of the game wins! Teachers reserve the right to take away or add stars depending on student behavior.
