I play this game a little differently when in whole group. I like to have all students ENGAGED and REVIEWING every question.  So, I do this by having each team answer every question. Here’s how it goes:

1. Divide students into groups of up to six teams.
2. One team chooses the category and amount. EVERYONE answers the questions with their groups and records their answer on their whiteboards. 
3. The team whose turn it is shows me their answer. If correct, I award them the points. If incorrect, any team that has the correct answer can go for the steal and get the points for that question. 
4. Then the next team gets to choose the category and points.
