How To Play...GOAL: Inspire participants to drink and eat adequate sources of calcium.

There are 12 sets of questions with 3 questions in each set, for a total of 36 questions. Difficulty increases slightly from the first to the third question. If a participant is unsure about the answer, the facilitator gives that participant 3 options. They can: (1) “ask a friend” for the correct answer, (2) “poll the group”, or (3) facilitator eliminates two answers, so only two choices remain. Each option may only be used once within a set of questions. The objective is to answer all three questions correctly. Each new participant starts with a new set of questions.
