1. Choose Your Buff As You Enter the Door Each Day. Then, Go to the Appropriate Camp

1. Choose your “buff” as you enter the door each day. Then, go to the appropriate “camp.” Use colored rubber bands or scraps of paper. 2. The teacher will draw a buff from the hat to see which team gets the first question. 3. The question comes up on the screen. The opposite team’s student asks the team that gets to go first the question. Students who know the answer or want to pretend they know the answer either stand or ring in if the buzzer system is available. The reader of the question from the opposite team chooses a person to answer the question. If the person answers it correctly, that person gets to vote off a member of the other team. If they miss it, the reader votes off a member of the team that missed the question. They may not vote off the person who missed the question, though. 4. The classmates voted out are sent to the jury. The jury will have a chance to re- enter the game later. 5. Play proceeds until there are only a TOTAL of ten players left (in large classes I use 14). These ten players “drop their buffs” and are given a new merged team buff and move to the “camp” of the team with the most players left. Now, the jury decides who gets voted off with each missed question. 6. When a person gets a question right, they get the immunity necklace. If the next question is missed, the wearer of the necklace may not be voted out. The necklace is passed each time a question is answered correctly. When a member of the jury asks a question, if the question is missed, the juror can answer it correctly to take the place of anyone remaining in the game EXCEPT the person with the immunity necklace. When the juror re-enters the game, they receive the immunity necklace. 7. If neither the chosen player nor the juror knows the answer, the juror still votes out a player. 8. When the merged game members are voted out, they sit at the end of the regular jury. Once all original members of the jury have had a question, the ones voted out after the merge get their chance. 9. When only two players remain, the jury asks a question to both team members. Both players must write the answer on a tablet or piece of paper. The first player that answers three questions correctly wins the game. If both answer it correctly, questions continue until one emerges as the Civics Survivor. 10.Award the winner their prize, and then discuss the game and its focus.
