What is in the file
SHARK TANK CLASSROOM. PITCH & INVEST REVIEW GAME. Editable Shark Tank-style review game. Pitch & Invest mechanic, pitching team explains their answer while shark teams invest $0/$50/$100. Works for any subject.
HOW IT PLAYS
- Split the class into 3 teams. Each team starts with $100 Shark Bank.
- Each pitch, ONE team is the pitcher (rotates 1 → 2 → 3 → 1...).
- Pitcher reads the question and has 60 seconds to PITCH their answer aloud.
- While they pitch, the OTHER 2 teams (Sharks) silently choose to invest $0, $50, or $100.
- Teacher reveals the correct answer.
- CORRECT pitch: pitcher earns pitch points. Each shark earns 2× their investment.
- WRONG pitch: pitcher loses pitch points. Investors lose their bet. Non-investors safe.
- 3 rounds (500 / 1,000 / 2,000 points per pitch). Highest bank wins!
