16	Let’s divide into 2 “families”… Here’s how it will work: One member of each family will come up to the podium to start each round…The family of whoever gives the best answer to the question will decide whether to “play” or “pass” the round If the playing family gets all the answers on the board, they get all the points for that round! If the playing family gets 3 strikes before getting all the answers on the board, the other family can try to steal the points by answering correctly Each item on the board is worth 10 points… The family with the most points after 4 rounds wins!
17	Name a type of learning OR a behavior therapy technique Round 1: Let’s have one player from each team up to the podium for a showdown…
18	A type of learning OR behavior therapy technique
