it correctly, he earns the card for his team. If he does not answer it correctly, he
must get someone else from his team to help him find the answer. Once students have
correctly answered the question on their card, they can search for another card. At
the end of the game (after a certain amount of time or when all the cards have been
found) the team with the most cards in their possession wins.
