Units Guessing Game

Under the guise of a shopping trip, this powerpoint has students guess on American measurements like feet, gallons, etc.

First, there are around 7 slides explaining the rules and basic measurements. Some important measurements for the quiz are: a basketball court is 95 feet long and 32 degrees Fahrenheit is 0 degrees Celsius. Go over these but I don't recommend spending too much time on them.
The quiz portion goes: question, reward, question, reward, etc. (I haven't actually done the activity yet but!) Break the kids up into groups and have one group try a question. If they get it wrong the next group can try. Whoever gets it right goes onto the reward section where they choose a shape/word which will 'randomly' give them either 1 dollar, 2 dollars, or -1 dollar.

Whoever has the most money at the end wins!

Answers go: 3 km, miles, Yes!, 0, Where is, Around 4, 1, 2, 3, cookies, 2 liters, 1

Note: click the shape to get to the 'reward' and then click the heart to get to the next question
