Finance Football

Goal. Answer questions correctly to gain yardage. The first team to make a touchdown wins!
Rules.

Players can work together or independently to come up with the answer.
The team must reach consensus BEFORE the time runs out. No additional time is provided for a team discussion. If the team can't agree, there is no gain.

Layout the football field and place the ball on the 50-yard line.
Divide the group into 2 teams and name a referee (or, the ref can be on a team). The oldest player goes first.
Both teams play at the same time.The referee starts the game clock. Each team draws a play card. They have until time runs out to provide an answer. The referee marks the yardage based on the difficulty of the question. Use a post-it to mark first downs.
Easy Question: 5 yards if correct, miss it and no gain
Medium Question: 10 yards if correct, miss it and no gain
Difficult Question: 25 yards (but if you miss it, you lose 5 yards)
