2. Brain Surgery, by Renee Merritt 2019
Game Rules & Question Topics
Brandon has an emergency! His Endocrine and
Nervous system requires some minor repairs to his
brain by Dr. O’Nair. Play the game to take action. His
friends Rusty, Bae, & Ray started a Go Fund Me
account and sent a text deposit of $300 to start the cash
to flow. Dr. O’Nair is waiting! Correct answers about
the Endocrine and Nervous Systems
get a $100 deposit! Incorrect answers
charge the fund a $20 penalty fee.
Three players try to reach $1,000
or more to help get Brandon’s brain surgery.
3. Directions
Cut out the dye. Put it together.
Question categories: Use reference card.
Use a device to research questions. If you cannot find
the answer in 2 minutes, another player can roll the
dye for the lowest number to answer the question.
Roll the dye and pick a category question.
Correct answers earn $100 donation.
Incorrect answers deduct a $20.00 penalty fee.
$1,000.00 or more wins with the highest number
to help pay for the brain surgery.
Three friends play to reach the donation goal.
