What is the educational game called "Around theWorld"?

Question

I heard this game mentioned and I was wandering how it goes.

If any one sees this questions and know about it. I would like to know more details.

Thanks

Answer 1

It is an educational game where everyone gets in a circle (they don't have to, but it has to be in a cycle), and the first two people start by answering a question given by the teacher. The question can be related to anything, based on what you're trying to teach. For example, in third grade I played Around The World answering basic multiplication facts. The person to correctly answer first moves on to the next person, and it repeats. The person who goes all around the room (hence the name) wins.

There is a basketball game played in a somewhat similar fashion.

Answer 2

I JUST PLAYED THIS GAME IN GYM CLASS TODAY! THERE WERE JUST A FEW STUDENTS IN CLASS AND WE'RE LEARNING HOW TO DO ACCURATE SHOTS IN BASKETBALL.
SO OUR TEACHER DECIDED ON PLAYING THIS GAME CALLED "AROUND THE WORLD". ALL WE DID WAS SHOOT THE BALL IN THE BASKET AT 7 DIFFERENT SPOTS STARTING FROM THE 3 MARKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BASKET AND ENDING AT THE FOUL LINE. WE HAD TWO CHANCES TO MAKE IT IN. IF U SHOT AND MISSED THE FIRST, U WAS ABLE TO "CHANCE". CHANCE MEANS TO TRY AGAIN. IF U WERE TO MISSED THE SHOT U START ALL OVER AGAIN. EACH TIME U MAKE THE SHOT U MOVE TO THE NEXT SPOT UNTIL U MAKE IT THE END. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR TO THE GAME "H-O-R-S-E".
