This game show format is organized around the five Emanuel Leutze galleries in the Look and Learn Gallery Walk. — Düsseldorf Academy, Leutze Gallery, The Crossing, Artistic License, and E Pluribus Unum. This game would be prohibitively difficult if students haven’t experienced the gallery walk, but it could be a cinch if they did the gallery walk with its accompanying scavenger hunt crossword puzzle. After touring the galleries have students organize themselves into three teams and show what they know.

Teaching Strategies

1. Organize three teams. (For example, Team 1: Everyone whose last name starts with letters A–H, Team 2: I-P, Team 3: Q-Z. Or, organize teams by table or location in the room.)
2. Designate a team lead who will provide the “final answer.” Team members support the team lead by sharing answers.
3. On the screen, select the icon related to the team. Let the team select their category and amount. They have 30 seconds to answer. The trainer reads the “answer.” The team lead states the desired “question” from the multiple-choice options.
4. Move to the next icon/team and repeat. Teams do not steal another team’s “answer.” Keep rotating through the teams.
5. When all categories are complete (or time runs out), select “The winner.”

NOTE: This game will take 30 minutes or more to play, depending on group dynamics. If time is limited, focus on few specific categories or a select number of questions. Adapt as you see fit.
