STEP 1 - SET UP TEAM SHAKEThe TeamShake App (IOS) costs 99 cents and is worth every penny! The interface is not that user-friendly at first, but once you get used to it, you can&#39;t live without it. You&#39;ll start here to get your small groups easily (and intelligently!) sorted into color groups.

STEP 2 - SET UP NEARPODNext, you&#39;ll head to Nearpod to create a reusable generic lesson that you&#39;ll use to view input from your kiddos working in color teams. If you haven&#39;t yet built in Nearpod, this video will show you the ropes!

STEP 3 - PLAY THAT TEAM GAME!Finally, you will launch your Nearpod first (student facing on your shared screen in Zoom) and then launch your team game. The kids will get blank &#34;paper&#34; from you for each question and then they will submit their answers writing in their team pen color! You can watch the answers coming in on your second device and call out the action to build the engagement (ie, &#34;Bobby just crossed the finish line for red! We only need 2 more orange players! etc)  Depending on your team size, decide what it takes to &#34;win&#34; the question. (ie, when 5 players from the same color group get the correct answer) 

This system has worked like a charm so far and I&#39;m thrilled to have a pain-free way to make and play in teams. Hope this tutorial helps take that pain away for you, too!If you get stuck, you are welcome to reach me at lorraine.salome@austinisd.org! Happy Team Game Playing!
