Instructional Ideas

• Send the game home for learners to practice on their own 
• Keep a scoreboard at the front of the class to record high scores
• Use during the beginning of football season or when preparing for the Super Bowl

Classroom Considerations

• Difficulty level is most appropriate for upper high schoolers and college students; refer to the publisher's website to find the beginning and intermediate levels that would be most helpful for younger learners
• Players are encouraged to choose plays whose difficulty matches the upcoming question's difficulty

Pros

• An entertaining way to review concepts that pupils may find dry or not applicable to their own lives
• Encourages individuality by allowing players to choose their own teams and plays

Cons

• None
