Page SALTED PEANUTS Ask true/false questions from Salted Peanuts or similar trivia book. Team with the most correct answers wins. HIGHER OR LOWER OR RIGHT ON Directions: Have everyone in the audience stand up. Everyone needs to pair up with someone else to compete against. Before any question is read, each pair chooses which of the two of them will answer it. When the question/statement is read the person who is supposed to answer gives the number he thinks is closest to correct. The partner should then reply, “Higher” (if he thinks the correct answer is higher), or “Lower” (if he thinks the correct answer is lower), or “Right on” (if he thinks the number given is exactly right). If the answer is right on (and the number guessed was correct) then neither player gets a strike against them. If the answer wasn’t right on, the person who said, “Right on” gets a strike and the number guesser does not. If the question was, for example, “How many states make up the United States?” and the first person guesses “45,” the second person should say, “Higher.” If he does, then the person who said, “45” gets a strike. If the second person says, “Lower” then they get the strike since there are 50 states. After each question/statement, players must pair up with a new partner. Once a person gets three strikes he must sit down. The last player standing is the winner. HIGHER or LOWER or RIGHT ON #1 1.
