Jeff Kroondyk sent me an email about a game called Grudge Ball. I changed the name but the rest is still the same.
Supplies:
1. Whiteboard Supplies
2. Fun Trivia Questions
3. Nerf Basketball Hoop & Ball (Or a trash can/target)
4. Set up a 2pt & 3 pt line
How to Play:
ProTips:
- If your leaders play with the teams, encourage them to give the students a chance to answer first. Don't let this turn into a leader competition.
- Pair this game with a Nerd night theme night.
- Ask a youth to participate in selling this game by dressing up in "nerd" attire and challenging the group.
Goal: Answer trivia questions correctly and make a basket to erase all the points from opposing teams. Leader can decide how long to make the game last - either by time or rounds.
Split your group into even teams of 4-6. (Having more than 2 teams compete adds a fun strategic component).
Each team starts the game with 10 points on a whiteboard.
Choose a team to answer a trivia question first. If they answer the question correctly they automatically earn 2 erases and must shoot for a chance at more. If they make the basket from the 2 pt. line they get 2 erases and 3 more erases if they make it from the 3 pt. line. After they shoot they may erase points from any other team based on how many erases they earned. They may use all their erases on 1 team or split them between multiple teams.
Move through the teams in order.
If a team loses all their points they may receive points back by answering a question correctly and scoring from the 2 pt. line. They may not erase from other teams on that turn.
Note: The whole team may work together to give the answer. Have teams rotate who will shoot the basket for their team. It cannot be the same person every time.
