GAME Tips

To be successful, follow some of these tips.

• Say the number quickly and clearly. If the birthday student does not understand, repeat the number slowly. It’s better to say the number slowly and correctly than faster and incorrectly.

• If the math is not correct, the birthday student probably misunderstood a number incorrectly. The birthday student should ask the other students on the team to repeat.

• If it is not your turn, be quiet! It can be difficult to hear when too many people are talking.
